Hegseth cites “fog of war” in defense of 2nd strike on alleged drug boat
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is defending a follow-up military strike on a suspected drug-carrying boat near Venezuela. During a cabinet meeting with President Trump, Hegseth said that he did not see survivors in the water after the initial strike was conducted in early September — citing “the fog of war.” Hegseth said he was not in the room when the second strike was launched, but he staunchly defended Navy Vice Adm.
