| Message | They would be inefficient workers anyway. We should use the services of our own labor force to support wars. This would provide great strides in employment. Another perspective: Golden Rule. Would you want our soldiers forced into slavery at the hands of our enemy? or treated according to internationally-accepted standards? |
