chances with escape or rescue
Consider this.
We have hundreds of prisoners from this operation.
How many of our soldiers are prisoners?
Answer: Zero.
Our troops know that there is no such thing as POW status that will be granted them in this war.

Prisoners, whom it seems in some cases, will even get a chance to repatriate and become productive members of their respective societies.

I'll still take my chances spending nine months in someone's gimp locker, looking for rescue or a chance to escape, than an automatic execution.
