The downed Air Force officer had more than a normal reason to be afraid of capture.

Yeah I don’t give a **** about your feelings. We get to live in a world without Irans terrorist groups and no nuclear threat. Your feelings are irrelevant.

Well you are a deranged cult member who supports Trump the terrorist. So that's not surprising.

When War Crimes Rhetoric Becomes Battlefield Reality: The Slippery Slope to Total War on Iran​

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” posted President Donald Trump on Easter Sunday. In case one thought that was an impulsive utterance, it’s notable that the president in apparently prepared remarks a few days earlier said, “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.”

Such rhetorical statements – if followed through – would amount to the most serious war crimes – and thus the president’s statements place servicemembers in a profoundly challenging situation. As former uniformed military lawyers who advised targeting operations, we know the presidents’ words run counter to decades of legal training of military personnel and risk placing our warfighters on a path of no return.

Iranian power plants and other critical civilian infrastructure are protected from attacks by the law of war the United States helped craft after World War II. Such an object can lose its protection only if it is used for military purposes by the enemy and its destruction “offers a definite military advantage.” Even then, such an object can be attacked only if, after a case-by-case rigorous analysis, the “concrete and direct military advantage anticipated” outweighs the civilian suffering that is expected to result. (Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I art. 52, art. 57; DOD Law of War Manual, § 5.6, § 5.12).

Despite those well-settled legal parameters, President Trump has repeatedly threatened to obliterate such infrastructure without regard to the law’s high demands. His comments are blatant expressions that he is willing to turn the United States into a rogue State like Iran and Russia, one that rejects the fundamental legal restraints that protect innocent non-combatants like children, and the Iranian civilian population itself.

War Crimes Rhetoric to Battlefield Reality: Slippery Slope to Total War on Iran

Former JAGs warn that threats to strike Iran’s power plants would violate the law of war and endanger U.S. service members’ legal and moral obligations.

He's a soldier for a country that has committed and recently threatened to commit war crimes. A country that bombed a school house (I believe accidentally) after a pronouncement by its Sec. of War that the rules of engagement have taken a secondary role to maximum lethality. A message that is easy to interpret as giving purpose to the deaths of those young schoolgirls.

Which is not to paint our enemies as innocent victims. Iran has committed atrocities of its own. Even against its own people.

But if you are a prisoner of war you are entitled to humane treatment. And you don't want your country to have given those holding you a pretense to mistreat you. John McCain understood that. As do the families of those who have served. Perhaps that's why our CIC has shown so little regard for the "losers" in uniform.

I hope the men and women in uniform heed the words of Mark Kelly and those who joined him to remind military personnel they can ignore illegal orders. Despite the regime's attempts to silence them.

Do you really think that Iran would treat our captured Soldiers with dignity? They have already said they will burn them alive. Regardless of anything that we do? You can't be this stupid or anti-American.

I know what Trump would do to Iranian prisoners of war. Probably kill them or torture them.

Iran has been targeting civilian targets ever since 1979. According to the Laws of War and the Geneva Conventions, a signatory isn’t bound to follow them if their opponent violates them.

I wish I could say your gullible naivete was irrelevant. But it isn't. It's dangerous.

This puts his threats to commit war crimes in an odd new light.

White House Knew About Pakistan’s Cease-Fire Post on X Before It Was Sent​

It seemed like a last-ditch public plea.

President Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline for Iran was fast approaching, and Pakistan was trying to orchestrate an off-ramp for both sides. So Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif took to social media.

Mr. Sharif, adopting Trumpian parlance, said in a post on X Tuesday afternoon that diplomacy was “progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully” and that he was requesting that Mr. Trump extend the deadline for two weeks. He then tagged Mr. Trump and other top advisers.

But behind the scenes, the White House had already seen and signed off on the statement before Mr. Sharif posted it, according to a person briefed on the communication, a sign that the diplomatic channels were much more active than the message on social media suggested.

And it showed that the White House — even as Mr. Trump was threatening to wipe out Iran’s civilization unless Tehran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — was actively looking for a way out of the crisis as the deadline drew near on Tuesday.

A White House official denied that Mr. Trump wrote the statement, as some observers speculated on social media when Mr. Sharif initially posted the statement with the header: “Draft - Pakistan’s PM Message on X”. The Pakistani Embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The United States tortured prisoners during and after Desert Stupid. ICE shot and killed people in Minnesota.

We also have a history of Prosecuting people that do that. Our State doesn't sponsor it like they do in Islam.
