What if they are not on a battlefield?

Well then what was the basis for taking them? You didnot like the way the looked at you. They talked back. You tried to rip off their rugs and the tried to defend their property? I dunno. You tell me, if they were not on the battlefield, then why were they captured.

This is not GWI which was conducted against the Iraqi army. All in uniform and fighting for a state.You have absolutely no concept of the current situation.

How many years of military service do you have? Do you know what it is like to serve on the battlefield? Furthermore, these guys are not on the battlefield. They are at Guantanamo, 8000 miles away where the greatest action is being bitten by stand fleas.

Stunning how naieve you are.
There is actually no definable battlefield. The enemy is all over.

You are just being silly if you think the war is only on a certain acreage somehow defined by what some lines and those in are combatants and those out of the lines not combatants and we just don’t know how to keep the war inside the lines?

What about someone planting an IED way off any battlefield?
Is he not the enemy and can’t be captured without a hearing producing evidence?

Your position is absurd.
