In the heat of battle you enter a room that has been subjected to assault - your buddies have been killed or wounded in the battle - there are people dressed in whatever moving on the floor - there are weapons on the floor - you do not speak their language. Do you:

1. Read them their rights

2. Spread out their prayer rugs

3. Ask politely where the armed bad guys are

4. Kill the coiled snake before it kills you

4. Kill the coiled snake before it kills you

In the heat of battle you enter a room...

That's part of the question here...was this "the heat of battle" or a room that was already held?
