Just a question;
Aren't spies supposed to be executed? If they were dressed in civilian clothes then they could, at least in theory, be classed as spies and shot. Unfortunately, this country has come to expect some kind of sterile war where the only side getting their noses bloodied is the other one. I guess the proclivity of ignoring reality is a holdover from the past presidents reign. We need to understand that war is a dirty, brutal, and nasty business. And we are going to suffer losses. As Robert E. Lee said, "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we grow to like it too much".
All my support and Gods Speed to our troops. And may heaven welcome all who fall in the cause.
As far as those #&@%$^*@'s that we are fighting, may you reside in the darkest place in hell inhabited by only pigs, camels, and sheep.

I thought that rule only applied to personnel behind enemy lines.
