Iraqi's using the white flag to get our guys close enough to get a good kill ratio is reason to start shooting them when they come out with a white flag.

You are advocating commision of a war crime.

So, what do you suggest? The last Gulf War, a Marine had 20 Iraqi POWs to take care of. Aware that they could overwhelm him he used the simple expedient of wrapping one long length of det cord around each of the POW's necks and promising the group that one wrong move would result in a loud noise and 20 headless POWs. He then walked them 5 miles to a POW collection center, with a hell box in one hand. He got in trouble for violating Geneva Convention protocols.
