There is a good reason for treating prisoners humanely. A man facing the choice of fighting to the death or surrendering will tend to fight to the death if he fears harsh treatment if he surrenders. A man who chooses to fight to the death will often take out one or more of his enemies (our guys) before he is killed. thus decent treatment of POWs tends to reduce our casualties.
