Senators Launch Investigation into Defense Secretary's Alleged "No Survivors" Order

### Simple Version

Some important people in the government, called Senators, are going to look into a serious story. The story says the boss of the military, named **Pete Hegseth**, told his soldiers to make sure no one survived on a boat suspected of carrying drugs. Even if one person was left alive after a bomb, they were told to hit it again until everyone was gone. The Senators want to find out if this really happened.

### How Fox Would Spin It

**"Woke Senators Attack Heroic Defense Secretary!"** "Radical politicians try to stop our fight against drug cartels. **Hegseth** did what was necessary to keep drugs from poisoning our kids! Don't believe the fake news Media!"

### DeFoxed Reality Check

Senators from both parties are investigating a report that **Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth** allegedly ordered U.S. forces to ensure no survivors from a strike on a suspected drug boat. The report, from The Washington Post, claims a commander followed orders to "kill everybody" after an initial strike left two people alive. **Hegseth** denies the report, calling it "fabricated" and stating the operations are lawful and aimed at stopping "narco-terrorists." This investigation is about finding out the truth behind the **allegations of excessive force and potential war crimes**.

### Why This Matters

It's important to know if our government is following the law, even when fighting crime. When people in power might be ordering actions that kill people without a fair process, it's a big problem. This investigation helps ensure **accountability** and protects the **integrity of our military actions**.
