6. Americans don't take prisoners in every war?

In WWII, thousands upon thousands of Germans were captured and sent to US POW camps inside the US to work at jobs, such as farming, construction, etc., to replace Americans who were fighting in Europe and the Pacific and they were treated quite well, during Desert Storm, we captured thousands of Iraqi soldiers and didn't execute them either.

I'll admit we don't have a stellar record since then, but to say every war is false.
