Rights groups have slammed Pete Hegseth for saying that “no quarter” will be shown to Iran.
"No quarter" includes executing people who've surrendered.
Its 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”.
