500N,
Those poor guys were lucky.
Way too many times they merely get their heads hacked off.
Both sides are brutal nasty SOB's.....and more than a few of the Opposition have received such treatment after being captured.
There are websites that show plenty of these kinds of acts by both sides.
The International Media do not show them because they are "Too Graphic".
Easy.......just which set of Boots do you want to wind up "King of the Mountain" in this thing?
Assad....the Butcher.....or the Al Qaeda Butchers?
If we do nothing....one side will finally win.
If we stay out of this....at least we don't give the Radical Islamists yet another rallying cry.
