To be fair...is there any nation in any major war that has come as close to following the Geneva convention as we have?

I've read accounts written by WWII vets of shooting soldiers who were trying to surrender (both by allies and axis.)

Here we are mincing over whether Guantanamo is a prison or POW camp, while it's probably a resort compared to how ANY troops were quartered at the time the Geneva Convention was written.

EDIT: I have a close friend stationed down there right now...I'll try to get a hold of him and ask him what the conditions are like for the detainees
