Defense Secretary Hegseth has declared no quarter will be given in combat. Lethality is what is the preferred course. No rules of engagement, since these rules are Woke.

The 150 school girls killed in Iran were given no quarter, as the rules of engagement were disavowed. Here are some rules and laws regarding “No Quarter.”

Under international humanitarian law, declaring or threatening “no quarter” is explicitly prohibited:

Hague Convention IV (1907), Article 23(d): “It is especially forbidden […] to declare that no quarter will be given.”

Customary international law: Recognized as binding in both international and non-international armed conflicts.

Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court: Classifies the act as a war crime in international armed conflicts.

U.S. law: The 1996 War Crimes Act and the Department of Defense Law of War Manual prohibit giving or threatening “no quarter,” with potential penalties including life imprisonment or death if the act results in fatalities.

The prohibition applies not only to the act itself, but also to threats or orders to deny quarter, meaning that even publicly declaring “no quarter” can constitute a war crime.

Hegseth is a war criminal, as is Donald Trump who has ordered these adventures.

The United States has broken International and U.S. Law.
