Do the Iraqi insurgents hold any US prisoners? If they do how many and where are they?

Question

How are they treated? Or I'm afraid that US prisoners are executed on the spot. Further, US soldiers are charged with murder in our courts when they kill Iraqui civilians, and here comes a dumb question. Are the Iraqui insurgents also hold accountable in courts when they kill US or civilians from other countries? I don't hear any outcry from the US government and the American people regarding treatment of US prisoners.

Answer 1

There is only 1 soldier that is currently listed as MIA in Iraq, PFC Matthew Maupin.

On April 9, 2004, Maupin's fuel convoy came under attack near the Baghdad International Airport. In what was described as a 5-mile long ambush, the 26-vehicle serial was pummeled by gunfire, mortar rounds and RPGs, disabling many of the civilian fuel tankers and Army vehicles. After the remnants of the convoy reached safe ground it was learned that around ten soldiers and civilian KBR contractors were wounded while one soldier and a civilian driver had been killed in the battle. PFC Maupin was among the nine people unaccounted for – seven civilians and two soldiers. One of the missing civilian drivers, Thomas Hamill, had been taken hostage during the ambush and escaped his captors on May 2, 2004. The bodies of five other civilians and the second soldier were subsequently recovered (all are thought to have been killed in the ambush); Civilian driver Timothy Bell remains missing and is presumed dead since he never appeared in a hostage video.

The reality is that most soldiers and civilians that have been taken prisoner by insurgents are eventually executed on the spot; case in point, the incident in which PFC Menchaca and PFC Tucker (members of the 502nd Infantry; 101st Airborne) were captured by insurgents, tortured, executed and their bodies mutilated and rigged with IEDs.

In my honest opinion, PFC Maupin was executed and our government has yet to admit to this.

Answer 2

it quite is quite complicated for the insurgents to take US infantrymen as a POW, considering as quickly as we circulate out on missions, its very practically continuously in atleast a team sized element, and a soldier won't in any respect depart yet another soldier in the back of, no remember what, and the enemy isn't combating us head to head, its all IED's and sniper assaults for the main area, so in maximum circumstances, for the duration of an IED explosion or sniper attack, the insurgents are not got here across. There are some circumstances, that could reason a soldier to alter into separated from their team, or squad, like while Jessica Lynch have been given separated from her convoy and have been given lost, or while helicopters circulate down and an instantaneous extraction isn't achievable. Normaly while insurgents capture a soldier or us civlian they are going to hold them for quite a few days or even weeks, and attempt to apply them to make demands, yet they're extra often than not used for propaganda perpouses. Then they ussually finally end up beheading the pow regrettably. They video tape the beheading and use that still for propaganda perpouses. each and every from time to time we are fortunate sufficient to assemble intellegance on the the place abouts of our pows and are waiting to circulate in and extract them, and there have been quite a few circumstances the place the pows have been waiting to flee on their very own. they do no longer handle our pows properly the two on an analogous time as they're alive, I won't get into superb information. the reason the U. S. isn't speaking out against therapy of POWs is beacause they even have not got any, its unlike veitnam the place there have been pow camps the place infantrymen have been saved there for some years. despite in the event that they did, they are not a brilliant-unfold combating tension and have not have been given any reguards for the geniva conventions, which easily does restrict the execution of pows.

Answer 3

I think there are 2 or 3 military missing. We hope they are prisoners and are OK.and your statement is right on.If the US government did the same as the terrorist are doing to our people. The ACLU would be suing every one along with some others who don't remember 9/11 and all the people killed.

Answer 4

same answer as before: none of us like it when American soldiers are treated badly. but sadly it has happened and will probably continue to happen. my advice to soldiers in the field is never surrender. take as many of the enemy with you because death from a bullet is less painful than being slowly beheaded.

Answer 5

Only for enough time to exploit them on the internet while they torture them. Then they behead them. Cuts out the overhead, no pun intended, of feeding and housing them, Don.

Answer 6

Dumb question. They hold them only long enough to beat the **** out of them and then execute them and post it on the web.

Answer 7

Iraq attacked America. OH wait no it was American Soldiers that attacked Iraq and killed, and are to this day, killing it's people. Funny because not one single Iraqi person has ever harmed any American until they decided to go and invade Iraq. So if U.S soldiers are held Prisoners then I'm gonna understand... and how can I prove it ? Go to google and type ''Iraq Torture''.
