ltmaverick25 said:Releasing our enemies so they can kill us another day hardly qualifies as fighting the fight right in my view.
So that justifies summary executions? :
My reference was to the ethical and moral standards we maintain as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions in the way we professional soldiers conduct ourselves as opposed to them.
I hardly think that summarily executing someone - even an enemy - behind the garden shed qualifies as "fighting the good fight the right way"; in fact, some of us professionals would find such an act lunatical itself. War is hell, but it's the battlefield where soldiers fight the Just War.
Ergo the (BIG) difference between us and them. It's really not a difficult concept to grasp. I've faith that one day ... Mr Taliban will get his due.
