As far as US forces mistreating people who peaceably surrender, well, I can't think of any cases off the top of my head. I think you grossly underestimate the professionalism and discipline of our military.
I think you overestimate it.

The vast majority of these people are enlisted teenagers/young adults from redneck or otherwise troubled backgrounds. **** happens.

We already know Khadr was treated inhumanely on many occasions, I don't even know why you're pretending like every US soldier -- especially those treating what they believe to be a "terrist" -- is professional about how they do their job.
