@JoshuaLWatson It's got to be some version of the 'goodness is diffusive of itself' line, but it seems like there must be a very specific reference and I don't know what it is.

Does anyone know what the distinction between the object of want and the object of assimilation consists in? I've never known what Spinoza is referring to there.

A declaration of no quarter is an explicit violation of Article 23 of the Hague Convention and therefore a war crime under U.S. law, specifically the War Crimes Act of 1996. And there is no statute of limitations.

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions. This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders. I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.

An order to give no quarter is a war crime. I’ve fought in combat. I’ve trained service members on the law of war. Our military has an obligation to follow the law. The Secretary of Defense having such a complete disregard for the law is reckless and dangerous.

“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.

Love and truth cannot be separated. Only by loving do we come to know the truth, and love of truth leads us to discover charity as its fulfillment.
