Defense secretary’s comments about offering ‘no quarter’ have some Democratic lawmakers decrying ‘the irresponsible way he's showing leadership in this war’
Not only is it a war crime to give orders to take no prisoners/offer no quarter, it’s also against American law to even make that threat in your propaganda.
And is also just dumb. Like, you want your opponent to surrender. Ideally without fighting in the first place. Announcing you will give no quarter will just make them more determined.

Yea, but the drunk Fox news host has also already straight up told us that the laws governing war no longer matter.
Maybe that law will get it’s lazy ass off the paper and go enforce itself
