Not leaving your dead and wounded on the battlefield is a cornerstone of military professionalism.

Perhaps. But there was once a day when military professionalism was measured by the neat and tidy rows of British soldiers firing their muskets against an unprofessional American army who hid in the trees and hills.

Different, bygone era. We have the most professional armed force on the block and we don't leave our dead and wounded on the battlefield. My guess is that those phantom Iraqi divisions that we couldn't find are beginning to reappear.
