We have never had anything to be ashamed of.
The question is what do the Islamofascist terrorists do with the people they capture from our side?
From what I understand their captives are treated to torture, mutilation, and then beheading. Not as swiftly as the Japanese did.

Agreed

One possible bright side to this matter is that because the islamofascists are incapable of building anything or doing anything of a constructive nature whatsoever, their prisoners will most likely not be worked to death. The prisoners may be tortured, then paraded in front of the cameras and their heads sawn off with dull blades, but at least they won't be worked to death over the course of months or years.

Having never been a POW (thank God) I'm guessing that this would be a 'better end', but I would of course want to leave such judgments to people who have been closer to this ugly arena than I have.  Perhaps a work-camp environment at least gives prisoners some hope for escape?  But for the prisoners who are unable to escape and who are brutally worked and starved to death over the course of years, they may well have preferred a swifter end.

Also, because of the differences in the type of warfare we are now Blessed with far fewer soldiers who have been captured.  Of course every capture and loss is heartbreaking, but I would suggest that things have improved over the times when there were thousands of our brave soldiers huddled in miserable work / death camps.
