re: #728 windsagio

wait, wait. We can’t not try!

That argument implies that its okay to let ourselves do awful things.

(you’re not saying it outright, but that IS the implication)

I also expect better of my nation.

I expect us to try —that is all we can do. But to kick ourselves and feel guilty for not being superhuman is counter-productive.

We have a professional military who is bearing the casualities of the war, and trained to deal the prisoners. Let them do their job and stay out of the way. If the prisoners are treated as political fodder, we aren’t helping ourselves or our soldiers at all.
