You are imagining a sick fantasy of a United States that implements a policy of no enemy taken alive in war.
We don’t play that way even against insurgents and guerrillas such as our 70 year indian wars in the west.

I was quite surprised when watching some History channel show about WWII and fighting on the Pacific Islands. A couple of the old marines mentioned how they did not take prisoners - “we weren’t set up for that”. Very matter of factly stated. Even coming out of their caves with white flags, etc.
In a doctors office once I browsed a coffee table book about Medics throughout history. Lots of big pictures, etc. One medic told of going into a concentration camp to help the prisoners and they found several of the guards that had not been able to flee before the Allies came. They rounded them up in the square and the medics shot them on the spot.
I guess I always envisioned WW II like the movies - heroic, gallantry, fighting by the “rules”, etc. But, just like any other war “War is Hell”.
You're confused. I never said any such thing.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you're smoking.
