Hegseth's "no quarter" Iran talk alarms legal experts - Lemmy.World

They’re just play acting at being generals.

Kegsworth is a piece of shit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he honestly didn’t know what “quarter” actually meant or even that it was a legally defined term under damn near every single military treaty.

They’re not just evil, they’re evil idiots.

Hopefully we live to see them have to argue for their own stupidity as a defense in a criminal war crime tribunal.
They’ll have ChatGPT argue it, I’m sure we can see the approximate output ahead of time.

Occams razor: the simplest explanation is probably the correct one

Hanlon’s razor: do not attribute to malice what could be equally well atributed to stupidity

Trump’s razor: when dealing with these assholes, the explanation that is both malicious AND stupid is probably the correct one
