Furthermore, this is WAR. War isn't pretty. War isn't nice. War isn't a neighborhood, child's soccer game.
War is deadly. People die. And, the object is to have less of your own people die than the enemy's. In order to have that happen, you have to know things about your enemy. That knowledge saves your soldier's lives.
Frankly, one gets that information however one can.
Well, those guys posing there, smiling while they 'work' has cost us BIG TIME in credibility over there. I don't think this helped. do you?
I'm wondering if we've got the attitude to even have a war --- or if the hippies "make love, not war" has left such a permanent mark on us we might as well just have love-ins with our enemies. It's gotten past silly --- in WWII, I wonder how many Americans were ever concerned with the hurt feelings of the Nazi or Japanese prisoners of war or if we ever gave much thought to how the Germans felt about us whipping them which certainly had to be humiliation to the master race. We might as well join the French.
Any information obtained by interrogators with room-temp IQs will be worthless.
