Really if you think about it, why should they wear uniforms and follow the Laws of Land Warfare?
We (and Israel) are already giving captured terrorists all the privileges of POWs - privileges that are only guaranteed to uniformed soldiers of a legitimate army answerable to a national government. Our enemies would gain no extra benefit from wearing uniforms because they are getting all of the benefits already, for nothing!
If we really wanted to make them wear uniforms, we'd be shooting them as spies at time of capture. Of course that would not be Pee Cee...instead it's 3 hots and a cot. You get to rest up until some liberal lawyer brings a lawsuit to get you released - and then it's back to killing infidels again.
Under those circumstances, who WOULD wear a uniform, especially when the Geneva Conv. and the rest of the Laws of War are foolish infidel concepts that you don't care about?
You are right on the money. That's the issue I saw when the ruling came down that the Gitmo prisoners were entitled to all the benefits of U.S. Citizens and legitimate "armies" (as opposed to the cutesy "enemy combatatants" phraseology used). We can't even call them Terrorists in the MSM!
There is so much give-away to non-qualified people by the U.S. from the Liberals and Pee Cee crowd (look at the illegal alien problems, and you see the same situation---freebies for NON-eligible people).
