Rights groups have slammed Pete Hegseth for saying that “no quarter” will be shown to Iran.

"No quarter" includes executing people who've surrendered.

The mere announcement from a govt official can be a war crime.

Such threats are illegal under the Hague Convention & US domestic laws & military manuals.

Hegseth has publicly claimed he would not abide by “stupid rules of engagement”

Analysts say US threat of ‘no quarter’ for Iran violates international law

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said there would be ‘no quarter, no mercy’ as US continues to pummel Iran.

@DrALJONES Rules of engagement shouldn't be enforced by an idiot who has an agenda that differs from what's been told to the people.
Making the people believe in some story and then the events unfolding, casualties , families broken, 💔 ,
All the results of hypocrisy and being dishonest to the people. Something needs to be done. It is not with violence that the problem is yet to be resolved.
We need sound of mind and hearted people to assess the situation.
Nuclear isn't the real issue.

Sorry, can't follow, as your sentences are missing the subject... are you talking about what Hegseth is doing? or several people?

@DrALJONES Mr. Pete Hegseth was wrong in his doing.
As a gov official that kind of behavior shouldn't exist.
He might change his stance but for now, he is not going to get support.
This is precisely what I meant.

Yes.

However, what matters to Hegseth is that Trump supports him.

The main thing about Pete "K*ll-All-Muslims" Hegseth is that he highly likely has malignant narcissism (psychopathy).

Psychopathic brain structure is bereft of empathy, &, hence, of remorse or conscience.

Power is all that matters to psychopaths. They live for the regular squirts of adrenalin that tell them they're still alive.

While not all psychopaths do harm, Pete's a doozy (see his w'pedia page).
