How have we gone this far? When I was growing up in Texas you could shoot a man who was breaking and entering your house in self-defense. Today, one must prove that one had reason to believe the person was armed with a deadly weapon and had the intent to harm your person (not property)when they break and enter your house in the middle of the night. This decision now conveys the rights of citizenship, applying the right to a trial by jury, to prisoners of war. We can no longer afford to fight a war. The legal costs will be too astronomical!
These guys are not Prisoners of War.
These guys are Unlawful Combatants.
These guys are eligible for summary battlefield execution.
