I only have to remember back to the time that whenever anyone called Trump's actions treasonous, a constitutional scholar or two would correct them to say that the term "treason" was very narrowly defined. The legal meaning of treason differs from its colloquial usage.

I'd same the same thing applies here. There is no war on drugs in a legal sense, only in an action movie sense. And firing on these boats is not a act of war, it's a murderous act of aggression without due process.
