Pete Hegseth Urges WAR Crimes, Saying "No Quarter, No Mercy" - Glenn Kirschner



As CNN reported: "At a March 13 news briefing about the US-Israeli war with Iran, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth proclaimed: 'We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.'"

As CNN also indicated: "Denying the enemy 'quarter' may should like tough talk, but it would be a war crime."

I just sat down with military law expert Dan Maurer to discuss this recent dangerous development. - Glenn Kirschner 03/19/2026.
