First off, I do not know all the facts.

I served and was always told, by the Geneva Convention, all you were to reveal was your name, rank. serial number, and date of birth.

I doubt anyone we are engaged with in battle today are members of the Geneva Convention. The Genveva Convention is basically obsolete in this day in age.

We can also bet and hope our interrogation techniques do not go beyond these simple facts in a terrorist enviroment. I would hope the Geneva Convention and US Citizen Rights to Legal Questioning do not apply to terrorist.

I also do not know what our soldiers are instructed to do if captured in the current battle enviroment.

Then again, we all hope we could pass the test, but I doubt many of us would.

The only thing, I would question here is what this soldier did or did not do to assist in his capture. He was 23, and this is not an 18 year old soldier or supposedly and immature individual.

Just my personal opinion as a former soldier.
