" When a soldier is taken prisoner, he doesn't turn down the food offered to him by his enemy simply because the food was grown on enemy soil. The bread did no evil. Nor does food commit crimes. I can give a piece of this bread to a bird and it won't poison the bird. And the bird won't question the origin of the offering either.”   “The wrong occurred when you forcefully took the bounty of another man's labor. The fact that your prisoners eat food derived from evil gains will not undo the initial wrong committed. Nor does it make them guilty of your crime "
