I have strong beliefs, as is obvious in my postings, But one was forged early in my life and has only strengthened as i age. I was subject to Fear, Hate and Ignorance as a youth and bullied and beaten up. it was not until i had enough and was "Forced" to fight back that it ended. They went in search of easier prey. I learned something valuable and unfortunately contrary to the teachings of my mother. Its not as she believed that, "When brains fail fists take over" but if you are to confront an enemy without a brain you must fight fire with fire. I am a true lover of people and life. I will only fight if there is no choice of flight. But, let it be known that to "force" me to that point where i have no choice..... God help that which confronts me and stands in my path to the door!! So, were am i going with this... well, in war the horrors done to one another have no boundaries. The fact that during this time of war(horrors) there must be a line which we must not cross is not fathomable to me? The Geneva Convention was formed to clearly draw the line... but its just not going to work because someone or some gov. will all ways interpret or bend or find extenuating circumstance(9/11) to disregard those basic human rights. That during a war that has no human caring, in the midst of mutilation and agony and death, a prisoner is to be treated "Decently" is hard to understand. Maybe less people would sign up and run off to fight a war, that they most likely don't even know the real motivation for, if as i would warn to someone I'm "Forced" to go to war with ALL BETS ARE OFF AND IM PREPARED TO ANYTHING TO WIN. The picture of anything should include what i will do to you to extract info beneficial to my cause!!!! So, They must go to war knowing if they aren't maimed or killed on the "respectful" battlefield and they are captured. They WILL be maimed or killed or maimed then killed if they are suspected of having info that would benefit my cause. War is Hell and Hell doesn't end at capture......it Begins !! Maybe just maybe a potential enlistee will think twice.. There are no rules in a fight to the death and second place is not an option!
