"Moulton stated, 'In order for no quarter or no survivors is a war crime under the Geneva conventions. You understand that's murder. Do you stand by that statement?'"
"'Absolutely, Moulton answered. He continued: I mean, he's clearly behind the operation to shoot all these boats in the Caribbean when it's very unclear that we actually have any confirmation that these so-called narco terrorists are even on the boats.'"
"'There's been press reporting on some of these individuals who've been killed who are clearly not war criminals. And on top of that, we then have the strike where they came back in and hit it again - a double tap - just purely to kill these survivors who were clinging to wreckage.'"
Rep. Seth Moulton expressed serious concerns about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's comments regarding military engagement, specifically the phrase 'no quarter.' Moulton emphasized that such statements could constitute war crimes under the Geneva Conventions. He accused Hegseth of endorsing actions against individuals who may not be involved in criminal activities, suggesting that many targeted were merely fishermen. Moulton also criticized the military's double-tap strikes, which he argued were aimed at killing survivors, further questioning the legality and morality of these operations.
