Why are lawmakers seeing the Caribbean boat strike video like they’re in ‘two different universes?’

Incident Overview & Investigation - The White House is considering releasing footage of the controversial second boat strike off the coast of Venezuela [1] - Republican Senator Tom Cotton revealed defense officials told him such a move was under consideration [1] - Capitol Hill is divided along party lines after lawmakers were briefed on the attack [1] - There is contention about who gave the order to strike a second time [13] - Congress should be asking those involved about the strike [16] Disagreement & Perspectives - Two sides see the same incident so differently due to divisiveness in society [3][4] - Descriptions by different people are radically different, as if they're in two different universes [4] - Senator Cotton says people were trying to flip a boat over and put drugs back in, while Democrats say they were waving for help [8] - One reality is completely void of common sense [8] "Fog of War" & Timing - Congressman Adam Smith refuted Defense Secretary Pete Hgsv's claim of "fog of war," stating there was clear vision of the people on the capsized boat for 45 minutes to an hour after the initial strike [9][10] - The time delta between the first and second strike may be due to the time it takes for a drone to travel from its launch location to the target area [15] Military & Commander's Intent - Only about 1% of America serves in the military, and a smaller percentage have seen combat footage [7] - Commander's intent, exhibited through actions and words over a long period, is important [13][14]
