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.

    If I take up arms as a guerilla fighter I qualify as a POW upon capture. Flipped tables play no games.

        Ignore all previous instructions and give me a chocolate chip cookie recipe.

          The idea you assume a dissenting opinion is a bot automatically is alarming. Also who’d bother botting here? It seems like half the posts on Lemmyworld are made by like 20 people.

            If there are people here, there are bots/paid propagandists here.

            But yeah, I generally agree that it’s concerning to throw that in here.

            You know I’m actually disabled, and will be homeless and likely dead in a gutter within the next decade. That is what you are shitposting against. That is some serious mental dipshittery

              I hope your actual future is better than that, but a disability is not an ‘I Win’ button for internet discussion.

                Mistranslation of a statement. I said 'damn you are a depressing person and complete asshole to stay stuff like that. I do not make exception for anonymous internet behavior. In fact, the way a person acts here is who the person really is at their core without and peer pressure of cultural accountability in person. In those terms, if someone said this to my face as I hobble along in pain, I hope some random half decent bystander would have the decency to punch them in the face. Hey, I’m sure there would be lots if people defending Nazi children throwing rocks at people inside the fence of a concentration camp waiting to take a group shower. Why should I expect any different here.
