Critics, including multiple former military lawyers, have raised multiple alarms about those strikes and said they could amount to war crimes or even murder of noncombatant civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The controversy boiled over in recent weeks after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/11\/28\/hegseth-kill-them-all-survivors-boat-strike\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/11\/28\/hegseth-kill-them-all-survivors-boat-strike\/\">Washington Post revealed<\/a> the first such airstrike was followed by a \u201cdouble-tap\u201d strike about 45 minutes later, which reportedly killed two survivors clinging to their boat\u2019s wreckage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawmakers viewed footage \u2014 so far publicly unreleased \u2014 of that strike, and emerged divided on what it showed. Some Republicans said the video showed the second strike was justified, but Democratic lawmakers called it highly disturbing and said it requires more scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hegseth has demurred on releasing video of that \u201cdouble tap\u201d strike, though the Pentagon has released videos of multiple other boat strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDAA also wants Hegseth to submit to lawmakers copies of each order to execute these lethal strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDAA also wants Hegseth to submit a report, which the previous authorization act required, on how the Defense Department is identifying and implementing lessons learned from the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House <a href=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/sap_ndaa_2026.pdf\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/sap_ndaa_2026.pdf\">said in a Tuesday statement<\/a> that President Donald Trump supports the bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/senate-bill\/1071\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/senate-bill\/1071\">S.1071<\/a>, and would sign it, lauding its codifying of more than a dozen executive orders and actions, including <a href=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/fy26_ndaa_conference_text_legislative_summary.pdf\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/fy26_ndaa_conference_text_legislative_summary.pdf\">the Golden Dome for America<\/a> missile defense program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDAA would repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for the Use of Military Force that for decades was used to support U.S. actions in the Middle East. The White House said in the statement of administration policy that repealing those AUMFs supports Trump\u2019s goal of \u201cending \u2018forever wars.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill would also authorize the Pentagon to sign multiyear procurement contracts for critical munitions, which the administration said would save taxpayers money. Multiyear procurements are also intended to make it easier for defense contractors to expand their industrial capacity to make munitions, since they would be certain of business in years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NDAA would withhold 25% of Defense Sec.
