Perdebatan Panas di Kongres AS Soal Pernyataan No Quarter Pete Hegseth

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]You said we will give them no quarter, no mercy. An order for no quarter or no survivors is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. You understand that's murder.

[00:00:09]Do you stand by that statement?

[00:00:12]Uh the Department of War fights to win and we ensure that our warfighters have the rules of engagement necessary to be as effective as humanly possible.

[00:00:19]>> Democratic members of Congress to be tried for sedition for reminding our troops to follow the law. But when you tell them to commit a war crime, you stand by yourself.

[00:00:27]>> For insinuating that the laws that we're giving them are Mr. Heck, Seth.

[00:00:31]I stand by what I said last time you were here.

[00:00:34]You were incompetent then, you're incompetent now, and you're the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to incompetence.

[00:00:41]>> Uh any moves we make with general officers, first of all, I thank them for their service.

[00:00:46]Uh and ultimately >> My impression is you thanked him by a text or a phone call. You didn't even do it to his face.

[00:00:53]Out of respect for these officers, we never talk about the nature of their removal, but every one of them, including myself, knows that they serve at the pleasure of the president.

[00:01:01]Ultimately, out of respect to these officers, we don't reveal it. However, I will note it's very difficult to change the culture of a department that was been destroyed by the wrong perspectives. So you're saying General George destroyed a culture?

[00:01:13]There are many we've we've gotten rid of many general officers in this administration because we need new leadership.

[00:01:19]>> You have no way of explaining why you fired one of the most decorated and remarkable men who's We needed new leadership.

[00:01:25]That's my >> answer is a very immature way of responding to my my request.

[00:01:29]>> The issue in front of this is whether the decision to remove General Randy George strengthened the Army or created an avoidable disruption during an active operational period. General George, who also served as commanding general at First Corps at JBLM, has been serving for four decades, including multiple command and operational leadership roles, culminating as Chief of Staff of the Army, responsible for readiness, force modernization, and the welfare of over a million soldiers and civilians.

[00:01:57]He was removed in the middle of an active conflict involving US operations against Iran when leadership continuity is most critical.

[00:02:06]The reporting indicates that General George's removal may have followed disagreements over Army personnel matters, including concerns regarding withheld promotions. So my question, Secretary, is this. What specific national security risk, mission risk, or leadership concern did General George present that justified removing him in the middle of a conflict? Or was he removed because he challenged some decisions? And I guess my question is, is this about loyalty to Trump or is it about what's good for the mission?

[00:02:37]Um I understand what you're implying, but it's about the Constitution and our military and its ability to execute. And I'm going to make sure the president has the finest officers across the force prepared to deliver.

[00:02:48]So this committee funds weapons, readiness, recruiting, professional development, and leadership pipelines.

[00:02:54]But no amount of money can compensate for a force that may lose trust in the fairness of advancement. And this is fairness. We believe in merit. We have always had a merit-based system. That's not the argument.

[00:03:04]>> No, we have not. Not under the Biden administration, we did not. It became social engineering, not merit, and we're fixing it quick.
