[QUOTE=doggin94it;4014365]Fixed - and, with that correction, yes.
Question, CR - you're on that raid and see a teenager holding a weapon. Do you:
A) Presume he is an enemy combatant and capture him; or
B) Presume that he was kidnapped, forced into service, and only happened to have picked up the weapon to look at it, after someone else dropped it, precisely at the time of the raid.
Obviously, the reasonable answer is "A". The only real question raised by this poor kid's situation is whether the truth of his situation was determined with all deliberate speed and whether he was released as soon as possible after it was determined?[/QUOTE]
I'd be wrong to presume anything when executing the raid. Is it safe to say the teenager did not do anything in a threatening manner when he was captured and soldiers on site agreed the weapon was not fired.
Question for you Doggin:
Is it illegal to have a firearm in Afghanistan?
