If we cannot guarantee that, we must have a system in place to make sure all the people we imprison belong there.
It seems to me this whole issue started because it was shown many of the people in prison are NOT terrorists. Essentially, we screwed up.
This big stink wouldn't have existed otherwise. |
We go to an area where shooting is coming from, we have often drones telling us what is happening and for the most part they know and take all the bad guys in.
Due to madrases where everyone is brainwashed early, it is not inconceivable to find 6 year olds with bombs around their waist who are told by their parents to go ask a group of American soldiers for candy as their parents blow their own child up.
It's tough, it's no fun and nobody really wants this.
It is what it is and we must deal with it.
Army finds people with hot weapons on them, you assume if they are not with you they were the bad guys shooting at you.
What more can you do?
There is no perfect war.
In WW2, our best generation of soldiers had among them 50 soldiers who were convicted for rape in war time. You Will find some glitches here and there, but for the most part I think the military gets it right.
We sure take care of the bad guys better than they take care of others.
