Intent to Kill

Laid out in considerable detail, this post explores what happened to the deceased Gaza activists.  This is an excellent example of a basic premise: if you want captives, send police; if you want corpses, send soldiers.  Their training is different, and you get what you pay for.

I do not consider Israel a civilized nation.  (I wish it would have been, but sheesh and baksheesh, Germany  is accruing beans faster on the civilized side of the scale.)  I sincerely wish that America would stop sending money there.  It is funding atrocities.  This costs America a lot of civilized beans.

I don't see any reason to believe that.

Germany WAS a civilized nation. What caused them to be what they are today was their utter shock and horror at realizing what they managed to become under Hitler. They took a good hard look at themselves and threw up a lot, and, in abject shame and horror, decided to be better.

German POWs weren't treated any better by Americans than American POWs were treated by Germans.

That part I would have to disagree with.
At least once they were actually in a prison camp.
