OK,from this point forward we should shoot all prisoners taken on the battlefield.That would put an end to this problem.

Yep.

During the VN conflict, there was a story frequently passed around.

A 100 strong American troop encounters 100 NVN soldiers: kills two and brings back 98 prisoners.

A 100 strong South Korean Marine troop encounters 100 NVN soldiers and brings back two prisoners.

I agree 100% with the ROK Marines actions. Take em out once but only once.

No quarter for terrorists should be US policy.

I'm also thinking that the head of the "al-Ajmi tribe of merchants" end up on a spike somewhere outside of Kuwait city as a reminder to those fine people we liberated in 1991.
