Mark Kelly Demands Pete Hegseth Explain 'No Quarter, No Mercy For Our Enemies' Comment, Citing Potential War Crimes
Published on March 17, 2026.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz) has demanded that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clarify his "no quarter" comment, stating that the phrase legally means killing enemy combatants instead of taking them prisoner. Kelly argued that this phrase carries a clear meaning under the laws of armed conflict and is prohibited under international agreements such as the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions. He also asked Hegsetsh to confirm that U.S. operations will comply with international law and that service members have the duty to refuse unlawful orders.
