RE :”“...Execute the guys you pick up off the field of battle. Quit playing by humane rules....”

Absolutely agree.”

Not happening either. No POTUS is going to order the Nazi method of handling captured POWS , and they wont be nuking them either.

So since we have to live in the real world lets quit throwing our troops into these no-win situations.

RE execute:

If you catch a guy planting IEDs, sniping at our guys, actively engaged in combat against our people, he should not be treated to a taxpayer-funded vacation at Club Gitmo.

Don’t bother to take him prisoner. It isn’t “Nazi”, it’s common sense. How did our people deal with die-hard Japanese on Peleliu, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa? They killed them. With machine guns, flame throwers, grenades, and bayonets.

Kuribayashi had about 22,000 Japanese troops on Iwo; not many of them surrendered. Almost ALL of them (19,000) died at their guns. The ones that surrendered were, for the most part Korean conscripts or so badly shattered from the bombing that they were mental cases.

I agree with you on the “throwing troops into no-win situations”. But in the real world, if we HAVE to go in somewhere, we go in to win it and end it.

I NEVER want to see another airliner crashing into an American building, or a suicide bomber detonating on an American street.

The real world is this. We either send in our troops to face those terrorists on foreign soil, or we bring our troops here to fight them on our soil.

It’s your choice.

Do you want armed soldiers on our street corners? Do you want massive numbers of troops around on our city streets every single day?

Do you want combat operations taking place downtown Anytown, U. S. A.?

I sure as hell don’t. Quit carping about our troops being exposed to harm. That why they’re troops. Either they are exposed to harm or our populace here at home is, and the troops too as they fight a much harder batter on our own soil.

As for it being a NAZI action when we catch a guy planting an IED, and executing him, you’re sadly mistaken. As for catching a sniper and executing him, you’re sadly mistaken. As for catching a guy red handed who has done terrorist activity, you’re sadly mistaken.

These terrorists do not operate by internationally recognized rules of combat. We are not NAZIs if we execute them for their activity.

When you toss out the NAZI slander without justification, you sell NAZIism for less than it truly was. Don’t do that. Surely you must be able to see the difference between killing a terrorist caught red-handed, and rounding up and killing millions of Jews. Right?
