The US has murdered at least 57 people in the Caribbean and Pacific.
There have been three survivors of these strikes. Two were rescued by the US and taken to their home countries. A third survivor of a missle strike from this passed week the US Navy left to die.
The Mexican Coast Guard attempted to rescue them, I haven't found confirmation if the third survivor was ever found.
So much for troops rejecting illegal orders.
