    Jeet Heer Retweeted Tom Cotton

    Here's the deal: Tom Cotton is literally calling for troops on American soil to give "no quarter" -- i.e. take no prisoners. That's a return to the rules of engagement last seen in the genocidal Indian Wars. And if you object to this, many brainiacs will say you are being PChttps://twitter.com/TomCottonAR/status/1267459561675468800 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    And, if necessary, the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry—whatever it takes to restore order. No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters. https://twitter.com/jamiedupree/status/1267456995017318401 …

        My most charitable interpretation - he's too stupid to know what "no quarter" means

        I imagine he thinks 'take no quarter' means 'be resolute' or something & not murder people surrendering but what a sociopathic thing say

        He’s ex-army, and it’s a military term, so I suspect that’s not the case.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Remember this fool is going to run for President. He wants the power.. and he is showing you who he is. He will probably run in 2024. I hope I hope we decimate the Republican party in this election. Cotton is running for reelection uncontested.

        No, if you object to him saying it. Not if you object to the idea.

        A dominant-party system ruled by an authoritarian, nationalist and slightly populist party (a la PiS) is just the South reverting to the mean. Interesting to see how it interacts with Northern and Western GOP.

        You're using the original definition. The phrase eventually evolved into a meaning give no mercy, which is a little less harsh than putting people to death.
