U.S. Senator Mark Kelly said today: "The U.S. Secretary of War, Hegseth, needs to clarify what he meant by 'no survivors' in a war against Iran. It is well known that this means no prisoners - rather than accepting surrender, they should be killed. This violates U.S. and international law, puts our troops at greater risk, and undermines the good order and discipline of this world-class army."
Comment: Hegseth's rhetoric of "no survivors" openly advocates for killing, disregards the rights of prisoners of war and the bottom line of international law. Essentially, it treats war as a way of venting anger and revenge, making the U.S. military lose its moral bottom line, turning it into a war machine driven by bloodlust. It is an infringement on human civilization and the ethics of war.
