that's where you're wrong: since it is a given that our people will be
tortured
&
killed, we need to make it a national policy that the government
officials, and
all who participate in said acts will be targeted and killed ruthlessly,
by whatever means necessary.

You seem to be talking of any enemy troop, HP is talking about prisoners of
war. Prisoners of War should at all times be properly treated, in accordance
with the Geneva Convention, even if they are not regular armed forces. And
if I may add: if the US Govt and/or the US military endorses.shares your
point of view (which I seriously hope they don't), don't be seriously
surprised if your enemies begin randomly killing US civilians all over the
globe, wherever they appear in the street.

Your status as the sole military superpower comes with obligations. You
claim to be the best nation in the world, so demonstrate to the world that
you know what that means, and that you are proud to represent that nation
and it's values. Your example is being followed, even by those who hate you.
You need to make it a national policy (and an important and integral part of
your military's training) to be a ambassador, not only to your nations
government, but also to your peoples values.
