Approach it from a very simple standpoint...numbers and time...

A hypothetical:

When I was in DS91, we had THOUSANDS of soldiers who surrendered/were captured...and I mean THOUSANDS at a TIME...DROVES...UNreal numbers..

Now imagine that the war continued for 10 years and we had to detain them in the mean time.

Lets say that we had 200,000. We put them into humane facilities...prisons..

Do you truly believe that it is either feasible or sensible to try each soldier in an American court room to both determine their "status" and then their "guilt?"

It would be impossible. It would be insane.

And it would be incredibly STUPID.

Common sense should tell you that.

Habeas Corpus WAS NEVER intended to take on that role...and it never will.
