The U.S. Marine Corps had a policy of treating Japanese P.O.W.'s with dignity, care and respect during World War II, and it resulted in the USMC getting boatloads of valuable intel. I guess those marines were a bunch of pussies, huh, Papa Ray?
Think I'm making it up? Read this.

Has it ever occurred to any of you chest-thumping wingnuts that torturing prisoners and subjecting to them sexual perversion is, well, sick and wrong and against what we are all about as Americans? And has it ever occurred to you that it's just plain STUPID because it doesn't work in the short term and only creates more terrorists over the long haul?
The terrorism issue was a bit different in WW2, but the rest of it was the same. Fanatical enemy engaging in barbaric acts against civilians and our POWs. The U.S. Marine Corps, which took VERY heavy casualties in the South Pacific, found a way to be smart.
I'm sure many of those Marines wanted to slaughter the Japanese prisoners or worse, but they weren't as stupid as the right-wingers of today, nor were they as depraved.
