If we had just shot em on the spot, that would have been the end of it. Why even take prisoners in the first place if this is the grief you're going to get?

The number of prisoners taken will start to go down and KIAs will go up I would figure.

Is that the best insight you have to share?

Just imagine the hearing where they keep asking "Where are the prisoners?"

By taking the photos and apparently enjoying the humiliation of their prisoners, these people proved that they are not acting according to "war is hell." Shot prisoners would have been somewhat understandable; they could have been shot for trying to escape or putting up a fight. Treatment of enemy prisoners should be dispassionate.
