re: #446 screaming_eagle

According to the Geneva Conventions , if your not in uniform and you are hiding behind civilians, you are to be killed on the spot because of the danger you pose to humanity. This would mean our military would take no prisoners. A policy that is perceived by the enemy as take no prisoners would result in every one of them fighting to the death and never surrending, that would create more US causlities.

The point is what they know, that makes their continued life worth more TO US than their immediate death.
