US Military Strikes Alleged Drug Boat in Caribbean, Killing 4 'Narco Terrorists' The US military's strike on an alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean has once again highlighted the complexities of national security and counter narcotics operations.

The US has maintained a presence in the Caribbean for decades, initially framing its mission as humanitarian to combat human trafficking and smuggling.
