re: #89 Leonidas Hoplite

German prisoners of war were taken while in uniform. Is that not one of the rules? You need to be wearing a uniform to be treated as a POW? As I recall, the German’s caught wearing our uniforms during the Battle of the Bulge were summarily executed. Was that wrong?

No. I have no problem with summarily executing prisoners. Quite frankly it’s humane compared to some of the treatments that captured terror suspects have been forced to endure. Either kill them, or lock them up. Torturing them is a propaganda victory for the terrorists.
