Whiskey Pete Hegseth said “Show no mercy, show no quarter” to our enemies. His rhetoric is a war crime.

No quarter, during military conflict or piracy, implies that combatants would not be taken prisoner, but executed.

Since the Hague Convention of 1899, it is considered a war crime; it is also prohibited in customary international law and by the Rome Statute.

I’d wager he doesn’t even know what it means.

Incompetence sheltering behind toxic male bravado.

@xankarn @copter_chief This 👆, but ignorance is no defense. He needs to end up at the Hague with all the rest of them.
