“Just let him take you firearm.”

I didn’t say that. He can take every effort to retain his firearm, and use it if needed to put the guy on the ground, and capture him as a terrorist as he was not where he was supposed to be, and lied about being there. But to my knowledge, none of those create a capital crime.

It is not the duty of the military member to surrender his/her weapon. And, again, I didn’t say that. If it takes a gun butt to the intruder to protect yourself or causes him to submit. So be it. But if he was just standing there, looking at you, you can’t just shoot him. And the reg says until you are in a position where you are in fear of your life or the destruction of priority A property, capital force is not legal.

And if you look over my answer again, I mentioned there was not enough information to determine the use of force. All we have is that the perp tried to get the weapon and the troop shot him and killed him. Not enough info to make a call.
