Yeah ... the Nazi's used these tactics in WWII. This might seem the proper response in the heat of the moment ... but it would bring down world wide condemnation. There are a lot hand wringing liberals out there just waiting for an opportunity to be outraged.
No. The Nazis used collective punishment. They would round up all civilian males (and at times even females) of the town and summarily execute them. This is disproportionate and criminal.
I am talking about executing captured terrorists in appropiate numbers. Terrorists who use no uniforms and don’t abide any rules don’t have the right of protected prisoner status.
