It seems like you forgot that 5 weeks ago they were our enemy.

And? Every enemy deserves respect. During WWII there were numerous tales of injured German POWS helping American wounded and vice versa. An American soldier who shot and killed and Iraqi in battle would most likely be sickened by your post and wonder why he he was even in Iraq. He doesn't want to "humiliate" the Iraqis like you do?

"Every enemy deserves respect"

I wonder what the Japanese at Hiroshima and Nogasaki would think about that. The Germans? Could have been them after all.

Look, we are there to win a war, not to be PC.
