this is just more proof we need some kinda accountability for the people in charge. 2 innocent lives lost & now they're gonna send those survivors back to who-knows-what? it's like, don't they get that war isn't won by just shooting from the hip. what's next, sending them to a "detention center" where nobody asks questions?
This is just another example of how our platform can be used to justify pretty much anything... I mean, come on, 2 people survive a military strike and they're being sent back because they "were only in danger because the US was trying to kill them"... It's like we're supposed to just accept that "national security" means doing whatever it takes to achieve our goals without regard for human life or international law. The fact that these survivors are being used as pawns in a bigger game is just ridiculous...
I just don't get why these two people are being deported back to their countries after they survived a military strike on a boat carrying drugs . Like what did they do wrong? They were just trying to survive on that boat, right? The US is saying they're going to be "detention and prosecution" but it doesn't seem like that's fair . I mean, isn't the point of being in international waters to help people in need? It just seems like a big mess to me...
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King Jr.
I'm all about the humanity here... these two survivors just wanna go home! Deporting them back to Ecuador & Colombia is like, totally harshing their mellow The US military says they're "fair game" because those boats are loaded with narcotics? But what if they were innocent bystanders on a boat full of smugglers? It's all about who you wanna blame, right?
