#3 We hanged people at Nurmeburg for doing precisely what Peters suggets. Maybe he has a sexy new balck and silver uniform design to go along with his ideas.

#4 Whom did we execute for their legal execution of an un-uniformed combatant?

#5 Hmmm I remember them being executed for killing innocent jews by the millions, never for fighting a war.

#6 We should execute all ILLEGAL-COMBATANTS in the field unless they give up actionable intel in the first 5 minutes of their capture.

HH. He is talking about ILLEGAL COMBATANTS. Those who do not wear identifying insigina and hide in the civilian population. One of the reasons the GC was written is to protect the civilians which is why it outlaws hiding in civilian populations and specifically allows the execution of people who do without trial - this is the 'teeth' behind the GC which encourages combatants to abide by the rules and the reason we should not be giving these illegal combatants the same treatment as legal combatants.

I beleve that if the 'insurgents' wore identifying insigina (an armband or something) incidents like Haditha wouldn't happen a tenth as much. But since the 'lions of islam' hide behind women and children (sometimes literally) these things happen. The fact that we then allow these cowards to then demand three-hots-and-a-cot is plain-ass stupid. It is telling the world thats its ok and 'honorable' to hide behind women and children civilians.

#7 A really good site on the history of British judicial hanging:

http://tinyurl.com/6wx6v

In its heyday, the British use of the gallows so terrified bad actors around the world that many other nations developed different means of execution altogether.

And to its credit, the only group not moved by the noose were the Thughees, so vicious a sect that they had to be entirely wiped out, twice, with conventional military means.

America, likewise, lost a fine deterrent when it discontinued hanging.

#9 I thought the state of Washington recently had hanging as one of the means of capital punishment--maybe it still does.

Anyway, we seldom captured the Japanese during the island campaign in the Pacific during WWII. We didn't have the enemy returning to the battlefield.

#13 I think the state of washington has hanging or lethal injection. Used to be that hanging was the preferred sentence (if the prisoner refused to choose) until one inmate made himself so fat on prison food while waiting on death row that everyone went batshit worrying if the scumbag would 'suffer' during his hanging that they communted his sentence to life. (kind of like worrying if the needle to give a lethal injection is sterile...)

I seem to recall later this same person later got a free liver transplant at taxpayer expense -- least he suffer anything. Might have been someone else but I think it was the same person.

Personally I think they should be given 5 (or 10) years to file their appeals then they are taken outback and shot without fanfare. Particulary if the evidence is overwhelming (they were caught in the act).

#14 It just seems like "Kill, don't capture" has a better ring to it than "Catch and release." It seems to get to the heart of the matter.

#15 It's my understanding this was going on in Vietnam too. A friend of mine told me they didn't take prisoners nor did the NVA, except if they were high value.
He later became a spotter on a loach and was allowed to carry captain bars so if he was shot down he had better chance of survival if captured.

Perhaps you should read about the Nuremburg Military Tribunals before commenting.

#17 Under Roman law, actors such as these were considered bandits and killed on sight. Which is pretty much the way it has been done, always and everywhere in every culture, until now, or the 1960s. Sheesh.

Over at the Jawa Report, I saw some of the pictures of the 2 soldiers from the 101st who were cruelly murdered. What disgusting and cowardly animals these 'people' are. Lions? Yeah, right. More like hyenas. Pfeh. Add all of these we capture to the body count and we will see a mmarked decrease in violence as they are sent right to hell where they belong. A true "dying breed". The Hyenas of Allen.

Our jihadi enemies are truly "the enemy of life itself" and must be ruthlessly, relentlessly and totally exterminated, just like the Thugees. TO.A.MAN.

We need a return to the old rules for an old problem. Luguolo Latrunculus (kill the bandits), I say.

#18 Crazyfool got Ballz and he be correct!
Lookit. let's all of us get real. The time for "Revolution" has come. Things are so out of kilter now, both at home and abroad, that we'd might just as well pick up the pace (or get buried)and begin to "Git 'er Done"! In the interest of staying focused, and to marshall studliness during these crucial new revolutionary times, I propose that a notional prioritization list be developed...All are welcome to nominate the leftists and perverts of their choice and to assign them the next ascending number after MINE. Again, just for fun. My #1 fish in the barrel---George Soros.
#2., do I hear # 2? Kick it back so we can build on it. It's all in fun!!! (Not)

Maybe NAH has already been here.

Looked at the picture on JAWA. There also is a report on FOX tonite that the Shura Council has tortured, murdered, and mutilated three more of our soldiers. It's past time to go Roman on these animals.
