Quoting from a captured Martian Invasion Handbook, "A dead Earthling is a good Earthling," Martians had little use for prisoners. Because of the language barrier between the two races, new information from prisoners was impossible to obtain. Instead, Martians gleefully tied prisoners, usually brave army soldiers, to the exhaust ports of their land assault vehicles. Many a brave man died for his planet as the switch was thrown activating the thrust of solar-powered engines. Martian leaders, gleefully aware of the panic factor in such executions, used hidden cameras equipped with sophisticated broadcasting devices to telecast their atrocities to the Earth's major networks. The President of the United States ordered the television signals jammed, but millions of viewers in Europe and Asia were exposed to the horrors of the Martian invaders.
