Retired Major General Randy Manner of the US Army has accused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of using language that constitutes the words of a war criminal. Manner pointed specifically to Hegseth's calls to "show no quarter", a phrase explicitly prohibited under US law and defined as a war crime, as well as statements about attacking civilian infrastructure. The retired general warned that even a presidential pardon from Trump would not shield Hegseth from international prosecution at The Hague.

As the war lengthens, the chance that it will be exploited for a coup attempt increases.

Trump wants to increase the defense budget by nearly 50% without any review of what the money is for; this is strategic nonsense, and has to be understood as a payoff for the men who, as he imagines, will help him install a dictatorship. Hegseth is meanwhile purging the highest officer ranks of people of principle.
