“There was no ‘kill them all’ order.”

That is what Navy Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley told lawmakers this week in a classified briefing on the Sept. 2 military strike on an alleged narco-terrorist boat in the Caribbean that killed 11 people.

The controversy centered on a Washington Post claim that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered, “Kill them all.”
