    Can’t kill war prisoners. If you kill war prisoners your enemies will never ever ever surrender against you ever again. It is absolutely essential to treat war prisoners with the highest degree of respect and treatment in order to encourage enemies you have already defeated to surrender. Taking 100 men in alive is better than losing 10 of your men to kill 100 men who stage a last stand. Not to mention the information those prisoners then also give up as well.

        Maduro is still a head of state and this wasn’t a decapitation strike abroad. They basically have one of the worlds most visible hostages who they now can’t get rid of. They literally kidnapped his wife for no good reason.

        The US feels content showing him off in photos that make him look good so I have some suspicion that they genuinely believe that this law and order arresting spectacle is actually them winning.
