Prisoners of war questions?

Question

what are the odds of being captured in Iraq and becoming a prisoner of war?

Also what do they do to you? Or is it more of a legal thing?

Can they kill you if they wanted too?

Answer 1

The Muslims in modern times, which would include those in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, etc., have a habit of torturing and killing their captives. They do not feel themselves bound by the Geneva Conventions or any other rules of warfare.

These barbaric animals sure do like to scream foul when any of their people are detained and questioned.

Answer 2

You more likely will end up dead, than a POW.  I can see that you really do not have a clue as to just what is going on in Iraq.  Have you thanked little georgie bush for all the deaths and maiming today?  

Answer 3

Well.. Having been there on 3 separate occasions, I will have to say that its not very likely that you ll be captured  unless your careless. I only speak for myself and maybe a few others that say we will die trying to kill them before we get captured. My experience has been that they shoot at you or blow you up first, they shoot to kill before they would capture and that because they are cowards.

Combat cop has it right for sure...

Answer 4

I doubt they would follow convention, since the combatants they are fighting in Iraq are far from an organized army. They would probably film them cutting your head off, or try to ransom you. Even the old Iraqi Army didn't really care for legal procedure, so their remnants certainly wouldn't.

The US Military has rescued captured soldiers, Jessica Lynch is a famous case.

Answer 5

The chance of being captured is low.

Our enemies in Iraq will execute you, so you won't be a prisoner of war.  That's why leftists can't proudly proclaim how well our enemy treats its prisoners, as they did during Vietnam.

Answer 6

The odds of you being captured in Iraq is very slim, but if you are captured you will most certainly be killed. We have had 4 soldiers captured during the course of the war and ALL of them have been killed before they were found. One soldier was missing for over 4 years before we found him.  More than likely you will be killed and booty trapped so when we come to recover your body they will try to kill more soldiers.  That's what makes us different than the filthy insurgents that we are trying to get rid of.  We capture them on a daily basis and feed, house, give medical treatment, and give them a fair trail and sooner or later release them back to their families.
