Either you kill them on the battlefield or try them in court. I don’t think that’s asking for too much. You can’t hold people in perpetuity. That’s just unAmerican and inhumane considering they’ve released inmates in the past that may have not been jihadists.

MAJ Montgomery Granger
During WWII the US held over 400,000 LAWFUL combatant mostly German POWs without charge or trial, IAW Geneva Conventions. No one claimed they were being mistreated. Geneva says they can be held (without charge or trial) "until the end of hostilities." 731 unlawful combatant Islamists who wanted to kill us have been RELEASED. Only 40 remain, and 10 of those face trial. The Law of War stipulates only UCMJ rights for accused war criminals, but Bush and Obama tweaked the law with their 2006 & 2009 MCAs, respectively. Now we are stuck with a quagmire of injustice.
