We're better that these animals and "if" this did occur it was limited to very few individuals. POW's are handled in a very hard and firm manner with security and intelligence gathering being a priority. Stripped naked , flex cuffs, sandbag over the head is SOP. Was for my three conflicts where I either searched the enemy or witnessed their processing. When we transported "cuban construction" workers to Mexico City we flew with the ramp down and all crew harnessed in. If the POW's tried to escape or commandeer the AC the plan was to climb straight up and dump em into the gulf. No seats or seat belts for nice cuban contractors.......:o)

They could swim home.

In Panama and Desert Storm we used glass tape and duct tape w/ a sand bag. A long piece of 550 cord was half hitched around the crown jewels to ensure they didn't run off in different directions...............very far.

Guess these folks would'nt like to hear about a long double half hitch of 40 grain per foot det cord daisy chained over a few dozen VC's necks with a dual primed M60 on one inch of time fuse and NE caps in their lone escorts grasp..........

War ain't pretty. It really ain't pretty if yer captured and losin.

Stay Safe !

You da man!....You fuse lighters are a blast!
On the other hand, I ain't talkin....
Our Gunny was very selective about POWs....he didn't want any...

Did I ever tell you about the time we asked our EOD to clear an emergency LZ to allow a MediVac in to get some Marines in bad shape...

The kid, using only cord and small plastic charges - with one BLAST - cleared a fine LZ. But it damned near blinded everyone nearby, when the chopper came in and sent 10 billion splinters flying in every direction!!!!

Our single Corpsman was busy for HOURS, pulling splinters out of the strangest spots.....and by the way, NO Purple Hearts......
