"General Kuribayashi Tadamichi’s Japanese force of 21,000 at Iwo Jima was reduced by the United States Marines to just over 120 POWs (an additional 900 wounded were captured)" Hey Hezzies - uh, no offense meant, but I hope that the bunker busters seal all of your worthless butts in those caves and tunnels so that there won't be ANY POWs. Hopefully, you'll spend your last days suffering unimaginable thirst and hunger waiting for a rescue that will never come.

Actually, they won't be treated as POWs. The Geneva conventions require you to fight in the open, and have a recognizable uniform in order to be eligible to treated as a PoW.
I wonder if this means they'll be treated as common criminals and plain ol' terrorists.

The US saw 100% casualties on Iwo. Is the IDF capable and willing to suffer the same?
