Under the Third Geneva Convention, prisoners of war (POW) must be:

  • Treated humanely with respect for their persons and their honour
  • Able to inform their next of kin and the International Committee of the Red Cross of their capture Allowed to communicate regularly with relatives and receive packages
  • Given adequate food, clothing, housing, and medical attention
  • Paid for work done and not forced to do work that is dangerous, unhealthy, or degrading
  • Released quickly after conflicts end
  • Not compelled to give any information except for name, age, rank, and service number

Just a thought. I’d rather be a POW than a homeless disabled person in the USA. I’d have more rights, respect, better support, and better care.

    Oh yea, absolutely. Joining a very small group of war criminal countries including (but not limited to); Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran, India, Malaysia, Venezuela, Mexico and of course Palestine+Israel (feat genocide).

    Man that felt good, fuck all those places I listed for their war crimes/criminals.

    You agree I’m sure.

      They don’t. All these people saying these excuses are doing so to dismiss their conscious because they are the true monsters but unable to openly recognize their own reflections. When tides turn, these are the people that sway in the wind of Nazi like horrors and atrocities. I doubt any of them realize it directly. When I was much younger I was just as naive of an idiot, and just as clueless about what disability is really like. There is no monster as scary or atrocious as ignorant indifference.

      Oh look… a white supremacist desperately trying to “whatabout” more than a hundred years of US terrorism.
