Whompa1, I hope for your sake you do not have friends in the military let alone friends who end up being captured. If you do, you will realise the pain these people go through - I have seen it at the base I used to work at - when one of their members went missing.

Truth be told Odium my best friend who I knew since the 5th grade was a 1st LT in Iraq who was killed by an IED on Dec 21 of 04.
So dont talk to me about pain ok? I have zero compassion for these bastards what so ever.
Hell if it was up to me they would have nothing but 4 bare walls if they were lucky. No religous approved diets, no kuran, and certainly no praying time. Sorry buddy you threw that all away. Welcome to hell

Better yet you tell me why they should have all the creature comforts of home?
I was under the impression it was war out there and these are prisoners of war who should be treated accordingly.

Whompa1, they have not been guilty.
If everyone who is arrested is found guilty by being arrested, than it is a strange world you live in and not mine. Which I am glad I do not live in.
Should I learn to be kind and patient to the poor down trodden muslim extremist who is enjoying 3 meals a day and a roof over their heads?

they're just going in to make sure they are treated in a way that follows the GC....treated how POW's should be treated.
I have a good understanding of what it's like "out there". And I agree, the POW's should be treated like POW's...not like kings and not like scum either
