Also a great way to make the enemy fight to the death, causing you more casualties in the process. What a dumbass.
I think that’s the intent here. They need a new forever war.
Different scope, though. I don’t think quarter or no quarter affects the whole country’s willingness to surrender (the chance of that is basically zero either way), but it does affect individuals. If you have a few enemy combatants holed up somewhere, it could cost you a lot of people, ammo and time you’d rather spend somewhere else to take them out. They know they can’t win, and it’s either surrender or die. But if surrender means death, they’ll definitely not surrender. Now you need to eliminate them the hard way.
Of course, doing it that way requires more resources, which I guess is good for business in the military industrial complex.
The dream of any fascist.
serious question, what do they stand to gain from that.
The american people aren’t behind this, you could make the argument that it served to rally europes political class behind the US again but i don’t think that’s a priority for the trumo administration
Where are the repercussions though? I’m not sure laws mean anything anymore… other than being a tool of oppression of course.
You just know the defense will be “he doesn’t know what it means, he just heard it in a movie once and thought it sounded badass”.
Right now, nothing, because his party controls both houses in Congress.
In the future, the potential for consequences does exist, but who knows if we’ll see them
American admin war crimes don’t get punished by either party.
Why no high ranking officials got punished for the Iraq war when dems controlled both?
I can count how many, and it’s less than 1.
This dude is so extreme and fascist its kinda unbelievable from straight up sharing posts that women shouldn’t vote to upfront not even trying to hide it christian nationalism and crusade worship.
Even Russia takes prisoners…
Its how you get your own people back in trades…
Have you not seen what Trump said about POWs like McCain?
Trump doesn’t want to get any POWs back.
I vaguely recall it was something very offensive, but cant remember what.
That’s a safe bet. He said he was a loser for getting shot down basically.
Why would you want captured losers to come back?
This dude though call pf duty was real life
To be fair, he probably thinks the phrase means not to give the enemy money.
“No quarters or dollars for you!!”
This happened to me once. Got a dollar fifty in fucking pennies, didn’t even piss them off they legit just had that many pennies and I rolled bad.
Jesus this man is a fucking idiot.
That pic of him screams IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER.
Im getting shades of “child that doesnt want to eat his vegetables”, and a note of “incel incapable of finding a willing sexual partner”
I’m sure there are women who would date that guy.
They almost certainly did this in venezuela too
You ever suspect certain people were given government jobs because someone thought they were an asshole and decided they should be set up to go to prison? Hegseth seems like he was put in office for the specific purpose of taking a fall like the idiot he is.
