      There's a reason that countries started agreeing on a set of laws of war, and it wasn't the goodness of their hearts. It means if your own soldiers get captured by an enemy working under the same rules, they should ideally be treated with at least a minimal standard of care. But every incident like this or Abu Ghraib weakens those protections and norms.

        Exactly, you get it. And I'd like you to go on a speaking tour where you help these knuckle-draggers get it.
