The Pentagon Is Learning It’s Not So Easy to Sink a Boat
Military attacks on suspected drug smugglers in the Caribbean have been less effective than portrayed by the Pentagon, the White House, or in videos released on social media by President Donald Trump, according to four government officials.
The Trump administration has disclosed five attacks in its undeclared war in the Caribbean, each accompanied by a short aerial video showing an explosion and the vessel bursting into flames. However, these attacks have required more munitions and strikes than shown to the public.
- The attacks have been deadly, killing 27 so far, according to the Trump administration.
- In one instance, a .50 caliber machine gun was used to finally sink the foundering vessel.
The White House’s cinematic portrayal of seamless, one-shot attacks belies the fact that they have required more munitions and strikes than has been shown to the public.
Author's summary: Pentagon's attacks on drug smugglers are less effective than shown.
