Our president apparently thinks we should negotiate with terrorists.
Encouraging more US hostages and funding our enemies sounds good to me.

Because there's no incentive to capture enemy troops if they won't negotiate :wacko:

Are you saying that offering a reward doesn't encourage more of it?

Yep. They already have an incentive to capture to get intelligence. Nobody is going to start handing down orders to aim for the knees on American military so we can take them alive after this order. Here, I'll go the opposite direction with the same level of stupidity.

How dare you give an incentive to kill American troops! Hostage negotiations save lives!

An order to review something doesn't really sound like it's ever a bad thing. They can always choose to keep the current policy.

Not in line with the stats.

Europeans are kidnapped and ransomed far more often.

Seriously, you can kiss Mexico goodbye as a tourist destination, those few that still wish to go there.

For some Men , the very thought of Change can be a very scary thing.

Thankfully they have medication for this exact problem.
