Reply #42: Can anyone reference a War in which [View All]

[genie_weenie]

the rules of "Civilized" murder weren't routinely ignored? Sure, in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 Napoleon the III was treated with deference and respect upon his capture but I'm not talking about the isolated incident or a half-remembered story, but an entire War which did not devolve into rampant murder and destruction.

This is asymmetrical warfare so this War in Iraq will begin to look more and more like: The 2nd Boer War, The Philippines Insurrection against the US, the French-Indochina War, The French/Algerian War, Vietnam.

I think all the kids over there should follow my example and get dog tags which show their religion as ISLAM.
