It is unbelievable how the media ignores the rules of warfare (Geneva Conventions) and wants to act like these guys are simply armed robbers and should be handled like US citizens.
Unless I am sorely mistaken, if we applied the Geneva Conventions to Al Queda, we could summarily execute every fighter captured in Afghanistan. They are fighting out of uniform and are sbuject to execution upon capture.
What this country has forgotten is how to wage ALL OUT WAR. The appalling loss of life in WWII pushed us to fight in a “less brutal” fashion. The fainthearted pantywaists took control.
Kill them all and let God sort them out.
Got that right.
I don't totally disagree with the SCOTUS decision.
Perhaps the courts should make America decide whether it wants an all out war ending in victory, or an eternal, half-assed, PC war effort that never really wins.
