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