The whole purpose of the Geneva Convention is to provide a framework for which you can pursue warfare and not be branded a war criminal. The whole point of treating POW’s humanely is to encourage nations to fight, “fairly”. I know it seems rather oxymoronic but that is the purpose. The fight, the military proponent, is against an enemy that is not fighting for any nation, but rather a deadly philosophy. As such they have no protection under the Geneva Convention. Further, those who seek to destroy us have no concern about how we think of them. You treat the bastards like we did the German POW’s, they’ll just laugh and spit in your face for being so foolish. Besides, they are treated a damn site better than they treat any of their prisoners. And where has that gotten us? No, treat them as the irregular combatants they are, drill them for all the info you can, put them before a tribunal then execute the sentence. Time to quit screwing around with these barbarians. These are enemy irregular combatants that are not covered by any international agreement and also not covered by the Constitution. They needed to be treated as such.
