Since when is a battle field enemy treated like an American Citizen criminal?
In WWII the GOOD war, enemies like this one were regularly taken out back and shot.
My dad said that when his company traveled up the boot of Italy, that they were told to take no prisoners.
Interesting. Was he in the First Division? ‘Terrible Terry’ Allen was known to utter such admonitions and it was one of a number of things that got him returned to the USA and not getting a third star.
