I'm no fan of the Nazis, but in general, the Germans observed the Geneva Convention in their treatment of British and American POWs. Of course, they did not do so with Russian and Polish POWs, who were often executed or used for slave labor. I'm not sure about the French POWs from 1940.

The Japanese brutally mistreated allied prisoners, and some of them hung for it after the war. I knew a survivor of the Bataan Death March, the poor man was never the same, and had not a kind word for the Nips (as he called them).

Perhaps it would do well to remember the events during the Texas-Mexico war in the 1840's.

1836...the year Patterson Colt Revolvers were first produced in that city, founded by Alexander Hamilton as an Industrial Bastion on the Great Falls of the Pasaic River. (LOADED with Islamics today!!)

The Founding Fathers [aka Dead White Guys] must be rolling around in their graves!!!

Remember the Alamo!

Remember Goliad!

(Texian battlecry at the Batle of San Jacinto -- Texas' defeat of Mexico's Santa Ana.)

Actually the Goliad massacre of prisoners occurred during the Texas War for Independence.

Unfortunately, Spain brought a long history of executing prisoners into Mexico along with their bloody conquest.

Mexicans took up the practice and continued it well into their "final" Revolution between 1910 and 1920.
