✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
I suspect it’s because the skylight is REALLY high up and isn’t motorised so they would struggle to open it
Booooo. Nevertheless!
I am absolutely not better than that
Sorry, you may not know this about me, but I’m a bit obsessed with the titanic
lol at the air purifier in the corner
It would very much affect one’s grieving process wouldn’t it?
The true horror of the fact they’re sleeping in a room with a CHANGING TABLE and no windows has just dawned on me
Waving goodbye from a lifeboat with *that look on my face*
Absolutely would not have been able to help myself
Completely fascinated by the mum who Cassandra-ed about the titanic because she thought it was hubris and her husband who said she was being an hysteric moron. Like, even in the moment of tragedy I would absolutely have gone “YOU FUCKING SEE? Who’s a moron now?”
Wait, what…
Explain this to me like I’m 5
OMG. I looked at the floor plan and somehow there are rooms WITHOUT WINDOWS, yet they have a cinema room WITH A MASSIVE WINDOW.
Pathetic not to just go for the full Live Laugh Love
I loved shooting when I was young (both stationary targets and clays), and even I can’t see any reason why people should have multiple guns at home.
There’s absolutely no reason and civvy should have hand guns
It’s incredible they managed to turn their grief and their fury into something that has probably saved countless lives. They’re real heroes
QUEEN OF OUR HEARTS
I didn’t!
The parents of Dunblane were completely responsible for getting the handgun ban in the UK. They’re incredible people.
(They’re for Dunblane)
Not at all, how would you know!
But bonkers given the amount of booze the doctors I know can put away!?
Soz, it’s traditional to post them today (for Dunblane) and I haven’t taken a photo!
*this is not my photo, tbc
Sending love away up the road to those who haven’t seen their babies for 30 long years, and who fought so hard to ensure none of us would experience the same.
Jesus
