Soldiers are not policemen. They do not even have the power to make an arrest. They HAVE no civil (police) function in this country.They cannot say that I am a combatant unless I am in a uniform, answerable to superiors and carrying a weapon. (There are even non-combatants in the military, you know). If I were in a war zone, and attacking soldiers, and was not myself a soldier, then yes I could (and should) be shot on sight. And actually, I *was* a combatant, in the Navy, and served on a warship in combat operations in an active war zone. So this LION knows which end is up. ROAR |
