That's not exactly news. The last time we got that was from the Germans. It's not like the North Koreans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, or the Taliban was going to play be the rules.
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.
The North Koreans and the Vietnamese did take prisoners.
They didn't treat them well, but they did take them. The islamo-fascists, whether Iraq or Afghan, have only killed.
For our troops in this war, it's "fight to the death or die anyway."
