Terrorists are about as military as you are T-shirt man.

"then you believe it is torture."
i honestly believe that when i am in the war zone, 8000 miles from home, i will do
whatever feel like doing. i have zero respect for white collar war fighters. assigining
american p.c. catagories to techniques and methods will have little or more likely no
effect on either highly trained personnel or goat herders when no one is looking.
possibly (hopefully) i'm wrong. i'm done.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

when they put on a UNIFORM.
represent a recognized goverment..
they are soldiers and SHOULD be afforded those rights..
anything else..
is hefty bag material...
which works well if you need to know..
+ no water to mop up..

Rights? When AQ or Taliban captures one of our best, you think they are thumbing through the Geneva Convention looking for loopholes?

was answering your ? as too who should get treated as a soldier...
afforded those rights...

when catching some Towlie in rags..
he is not a recognized soldier by any gov..
has no true/recognizable uniform...
he does not represent any elected / recognized gov..
he is a thug...

Grey creates doubt.

One of my all time favorites! From the same poem. . .

If your officer's dead and the sergeants look white,
Remember it's ruin to run from a fight:
So take open order, lie down, and sit tight,
And wait for supports like a soldier.
Wait, wait, wait like a soldier . . .
So-oldier of the Queen!

If you like Kipling, I recommend a book called Kipling Sahib.

Thanks for the recco. :)
