Guerilla Warfare, Missouri Style!
The Black Flag of the Quantrill's Partisan Rangers meant "no quarter" for prisoners and was the most feared Confederate battle flag to Union soldiers. This was not a practise supported by the Confederacy, which condemned the killing of prisoners. However, pro-Confederate guerillas were often given "no quarter" when they surrendered and that was more than enough reason for them to fly the black flag.

That, and the fact that special operations/guerilla/commando groups are not equipped to keep prisoners. They have minimum manning and supplies. So, none are available to support keeping prisoners. If you are fighting with that type of opponent, just keep on fighting and don't bother raising your hands or flying a white flag. 0 -

And, I do believe that was written into their SOP, or at least I've heard something along that line.0
