    Shooting Prisoners

    I fully sympathize with shooting enemies trying to surrender as shown in Pvt. Ryan. They kill GI's all morning and as soon as it looks like they are losing, they want to quit? I don't think so.

    A ww2 story I recall was that the company sergeant would check the Germans captured weapon . If it was out of ammo he drilled them, if it was loaded he became a POW
    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
