I’ll just mention that we covered this pretty extensively in this thread:

> [@Mass murder on the high seas (Venezuelan "drug boat")](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mass-murder-on-the-high-seas-venezuelan-drug-boat/1022910):

> I’m not seeing much coverage of this outrage. The officer in charge obeyed an illegal order to blow up the vessel. As has been said elsewhere, eleven people to deliver drugs makes no sense.
