Conservatives flip out as MAGA icon makes 'truly unhinged' prediction about US troops

Republican lawmakers, conservative pundits and military veterans reacted with revulsion over the weekend at comments made by podcaster Tucker Carlson on Friday, in which he predicted that US troops would go on a campaign of sexual assault in Iran if the country agreed to Donald Trump’s “unconditional surrender" terms.

In an interview with “Breaking Points” co-host Saagar Enjeti, the former Fox News personality reacted to the “unconditional surrender” comments amplified by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, by telling the podcast host, “Unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter if they want — and everyone knows that.”

1. Well Hogshit said there are no rules of engagement

[Walleye]

2. Hard to believe there are Americans that talk like that

[UpInArms]

3. To the victor, go the spoils

Ugggg …

No rules of engagement … fighting a manly man war with real warriors

Do they rape and pillage in video games?

[viva la]

4. That's it... they think of war as a video game

And people are just pixels.

[EdmondDantes_]

11. That was the history of war long before video games

Yes we have constrained the actions of most state militaries, but there are still similar examples in modern war.

[UpInArms]

12. True

It is a sad day when the US military is being encouraged to commit war crimes and atrocities

[no_hypocrisy]

5. For starters . . . . .

Think of "unconditional surrender" as pirates on land, not a ship.

Plunder, rape, terrorize, assume possession and ownership.

6. There was someone on DU recently saying that the victors never face war crimes, so "all good"

Sickening!

It's like saying since some rapes, fraud and assaults go unprosecuted, you could be preside........

Oh! NEVERMIND!

[2naSalit]

7. WTF?

[GiqueCee]

8. When dealing with a bag of rancid excrement...

... like Tucker Carlson, he must be deprived of the oxygen of attention that he constantly craves. He will say and/or do anything to be the center of attention because he is a psychopath. Ignore him. Refuse to give him a soapbox from which to spew his vitriol. Pay no attention to him whatsoever. He will slither back into the sewer that spawned him, and wallow in his resentment, whining into the darkness.

9. How is that a 'truly unhinged' prediction ?

Rape is a big problem during peacetime. Even active-duty females get raped. I don't see what's 'truly unhinged' prediction about what he said.

[Melon]

10. Because our American troops don't win and start raping

It’s an insulting premise to even print. Our troops are the same people that have always been militarily despite the president. They just didn’t switch out a year ago.

Tucker needs to just go away. He says anything for attention just to get negative viewers.

13. Mahmudiyah rape and killings

17. While Of Course Reprehensible, Five Soldiers Is A Pretty Small Sample.

[vanessa_ca]

15. Bullshit. It's a problem even during peacetime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault_in_the_United_States_military
and it's worse during war time.
This is a common problem in all militaries.

Lying about it is ridiculous

[ColoringFool]

18. Not What He Was Referencing, Though.

[vanessa_ca]

19. But it is what I referenced in the post he replied to

Good Lord. Soldiers who rape during peacetime, even as far as raping fellow soldiers, are even worse during war time. Believe, or pretend to, what you want. Some discussions aren't worth wasting time with.

[Melon]

21. That's not systematic rape....

[ColoringFool]

16. Because He Is Implying That Our WW2 Troops Raped And....

Plundered en masse in Germany and Japan, and where is the evidence?

Our ALLY the SOVIET UNION wrought vengeance upon Germanfolk, that seems to be true.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. Oh they actually did.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Japan#U.S._military_rapes

The U.S. doesn't have that great a record when it comes to post-WWII Japan, either, to this day.

[indusurb]

23. While we certainly didn't do the rape thing anywhere near the scale of Russia

We did our fair share of plundering. Stories have popped up here and there of GIs taking gold, jewels and other valuables they stumbled across. More than one packed up a car clandestinely and shipped it home after the war. Knew a friend of a friend of my family who stumbled across an "abandoned" Mercedes 540k in the garage of a bombed out house. He packed in grease, oilcloth and a plywood box, stashed in under rubble, went home and was discharged, came back to Germany as a civilian a year and a half later, dug it up and shipped it home. Got to see it once, beautiful car.

It's war, these things happen more than you think, people just don't talk much about them afterwards.

14. Is Tucker in the files by chance?

[lindysalsagal]

24. and they wonder why we women want the equal rights amendment ratified, when men resort to such thoughts
