As I recall we didn't set up little court rooms on the beach at Normandy do hold a trial for every German we were about to shoot, nor are we doing that now in Iraq.

We did not shoot German and Japanese POWs, which would be the correct comparison.

Yeah, but they wore uniforms meaning that we were obliged to treat them properly. However, non-uniformed combatants do not receive any protections under the rules of war.
