If Trump and his administration is correct, these boats are involved in drug running. They are not a military threat to our forces. They could be stopped, investigated, and, if warranted arrested and tried.

If they are wrong, we blew up fishing boats.

When there is no war, no fear that you will be ambushed, could there really be fog of war. If there is any 'fog" it is of Hegseth's making.
