Our nation has amazingly broad protections for free speech, religious liberty and political expression. People have the right to own property, have the means to defend themselves and their families, and be informed by a free press. If the government wants to convict them, they are presumed innocent, entitled to a prompt jury trial with the help of a lawyer, and cannot be tortured or given unreasonable fines.

At least that’s how it used to be.

Sorry tet68, but OUR rights do not extend beyond OUR borders! To extend to enemy combat troops OUR rights leaves EVERY SINGLE MILITARY PERSON WHO SHOOTS THE ENEMY DEAD LIABLE: to the dead troop’s family for civil lawsuits, for prosecution of wrongful death or even murder - this is asinine!
We don’t have enough clogged courts that we now need to import lawsuits?

I say, “Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out!”
