I dont think our age has to do with it.
I havent seen too many references to it, but this is just like fighting Japan.
In the Island Wars, there were not too many prisoners taken, and that is because of Guadalcanal, where the Japs played some tricks on our troops and got them killed while pretending to surrender.
Not too many Japs taken prisoner after that.
on any island.
And not a peep out of the media, because back then, they understood the risk.
Entrenched media = fragalicious.
