A no quarter order is a war crime, prohibited even in actual insurrection since Abraham Lincoln's signed the Lieber Code in 1863. Such an order is banned by international law and would, if carried out, be murder under American law. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lieber.asp#art60 …https://twitter.com/TomCottonAR/status/1267459561675468800 …
While active duty American troops have been used to restore order in urban riots and should be used if there are no other means to restore order, a "no quarter" order would be unlawful if given and murder if carried out. They would have to comply with the law.

He's an attorney and was a US Army captain. He absolutely knows what it means.

How have we reached such a low point in our leaders...is it a point of no return? Are we truly devoid of values and principles? Has this country become too big to govern without violence?
Thanks for making it absolutely clear David!
Yeah but most white Arkansans weren't Americans in 1863 so Cotton wouldn't know. #CivilWar
