I could accept this kind of treatment easier than beheadings and other forms of execution. Do you really think our soldiers would be treated humanely by the terrorists if they were captured?
As far as I am concerned, they should be beaten as long and hard as necessary to get the required intel from them. What happens to them after that is not even a concern. These dirt bags are not covered by the Geneva Convention, and should not be afforded such treatment.
Well, since our troops get beheaded and contractors get burned alive, dragged through the streets and their charred bodies tied to bridges, I'd say they detainees are lucky. Anyone who played a sport has been through this crap just from initiation, etc. The rookies from the Pirates had to dress up like Hooters girls for a day this past week. Had it been a detainee, the Slimes would have covered it, the UN would have had investigations, and it would have most definitely been reported as a direct order from W.
Well... so long as were are prepared to accept such treatment of out own troops if captured, no problem.
If that was all our troops had to look forward to as
prisoners......not beheadings, or being emasculated,
or hung from bridges and set on fire.
Our troops are treated far worse when captured. We can only wish this was all that would be done to them. Watch the beheading videos and compare them to what is described in the NYSlimes. A Marine friend of mine who was in Nasiriyah told me that the troops (this is the Marines, I don't know about the other branches) are told to run and get shot if capture is imminent. Better than the death that awaits them. I have no other source for this than his word, but I believe it.
