Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth remains on offense, as another military official stands up in defense of the infamous boat strike against alleged drug traffickers.

The Washington Post published a story claiming that Hegseth ordered Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley to "kill them all" during a September 2 strike on alleged drug boats, insinuating that the alleged order amounted to a war crime.

'I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat, load it with drugs.'

Bradley echoed remarks made by Hegseth and members of the administration defending the strike and calling the Post's reporting into question.

Lawmakers exiting the Thursday-morning meeting with Bradley reaffirmed that the accusations levied against Hegseth and his Pentagon were unfounded, claiming there was "no such order."
