RTO Trainer is absolutely correct. Iraqi Soldiers and
guerrillas who fall under the following definition are
considered Prisoners of War.

Wrong, but thanks for playing.

Then tell us why you think he is wrong.

The boys at gitmo are not POWs.

Of course they are not. Since only lawful combatants can become POWs
the people in Gitmo are internees.

However, the comment (see above) was discussing Iraqi soldiers.


Some people in Gitmo were not combatants of ANY kind. Also, the Geneva
Accords allow for non-uniformed irregulars with no formal chain of command,
to take up arms against invaders (the US military), and STILL be accorded
POW status.

Fact is, due to the secrecy surrounding the facility, we have no idea who is
who.
