The Pentagon will not release to the public the full video of the US military’s strike on an alleged drug boat on September 2, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said. The attack, which included a follow-up strike that killed two crew members who survived an initial strike, has been at the center of a debate over the legality of the US military’s ongoing campaign in the Caribbean. “In keeping with longstanding Department of War policy — Department of Defense policy — of course we’re not going to release a top secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public,” Hegseth told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were briefing lawmakers Tuesday.
