Well, one issue with this is that the "War on Terror" isn't over. Yes, the Germans, Japanese, and Italian POWs weren't held for 7 years, but that's because World War II only lasted for 6 years.
Worse yet, since we're not fighting a country, but an ideological and fundamentalist force made up of a number of organizations (mostly the Taliban and AQ, but others, as well) from various countries (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, among others).
The "War on Terror" will never be over. Terror isn't a thing that can be shot, it's an emotional state that has always existed and always will exist. Fighting an ideology, as opposed to having concrete ends, is just an excuse for perpetual war--which of course is exactly what the neo-cons want.
