Oddball suggestion here. Given that the presumption is this was a grab for money to help them make their payroll, maybe it would have been better to turn the prisoners loose. Disarm them and send them back to their leaders/management.

Yeah, we risk them being trigger fingers again, but we also drain their coffers dry by sending them back troops who have already proven themselves incompetent.

Part of the problem is that the locals don't know how piss poor the Home Team is doing when it takes the field against the Visitors, especially in SunniLand. Now that we are announcing enemy KIA, this should serve to give pause to the more ambitious among them, who probably would value money and a longer life more than they value lucre.

As long as we don't do Weekly Body Count, I have no problem with this. Body Count leads to corruption and officers puffing up count to get a good score on their OER.

Be Seeing You,
