Defense Secretary's Mock Book Sparks Controversy Over Military Strikes

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a mock book cover titled 'Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists' on X.
Washington Post reported a second strike targeting survivors, intensifying scrutiny of U.S. military boat strikes.
White House said Admiral Frank M. Bradley ordered the second strike, denying Hegseth's involvement.
Kids Can Press condemned the denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin on social media.
Legal advisers warn the second attack could be a war crime under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Over 80 campaign casualties, including 14 killed Monday, were reported.
