The fact is that TDA is a designated terrorist organization. As such , they are a military target.
I am willing to accept that the boat was not picked as random target-of-opportunity but was vetted before it was destroyed.

Obama's 26000 bombs killed a lot of civilians. How did his military vet all those targets and all that collateral damage thoroughly?
They didn't. Getting that done thoroughly would prevent anything from getting done.
But international law is not an issue for you when Obama is the president. But Trump has to be held strictly to your concerns.

TAKEAWAY #1
People think all sorts of stuff. The facts remain...
American voters looked at all of that and decided it was partisan based activity that was only contrived and employed to destroy Trump and would never have been brought to bear on anyone else given the same surrounding facts. The American voters decided that there were higher priorities. I am one.

SO NOW, Trump is president and blowing up drug traffickers in the Caribbean.

And people such as Ben who are not Trump supporters are saying, given the Americans who would have died taking their drugs ...that they had it coming.
