"Let's go overseas to invade a country, steal its oil, commit war crimes, kill hundreds of thousands and count them as 'collateral damage,' and then complain and play the victim when one of the natives there tries to kill us."

What? Me worry?
Who's complaining? The soldiers did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Which solider? The Canadian terrorist or the American?
What right of his do you think was violated? Do you think that soldiers have the right not to be killed in combat? If so, that would affect way more than this case.

What? Me worry?
So now you're saying the 15 year old was a combatant? Well, there goes his rights.
The Taliban was the government of Afghanistan at the time. Khadr was a soldier.
A soldier fighting for a scumbag government that didn't mind using child soldiers, but still a soldier.

What? Me worry?
So, again, was the 15 year old a combatant or not?
And very often, because they have been mentally prepped by their parents. This does appear to have been the case with the minor Omar Khadr, whose father was closely affiliated with Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
It is also true that, during his 10 year incarceration at Guantanamo, Khadr's rights under Canada's Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms were violated, and this was tested in a Canadian court, which resulted in the payment of $10.5 million (Canadian dollars).
Of course he was a combatant. So were the American soldiers.
There are many classes of combatant. "Combatant" does not necessarily mean "unlawful combatant" or "unprivileged combatant."
BSM1
What? Me worry?
So wouldn't being a combatant negate his civilian rights?
A soldier isn't a civilian, but soldiers have rights of their own.
BSM1
What? Me worry?
Now your just talking in circles.
Combatants have no constitutional rights. And even if this were true, whose constitution would he fall under?

What? Me worry?
Breathe....just breathe...
Your failure to grasp my point doesn't mean I don't have one.
Combatants have rights under the Geneva Conventions, and American forces are subject to the limits of the American Constitution.

Um, nope. That's not how biology works either.
I'm also assuming he didn't give up his "human" status, so the point is that he is still entitled to his human rights.
Murdered? I thought this was war.
Did he have a right to go over there and kill strangers? How about the rights of the people he was trying to kill?
The soldier chose to join an organization dedicated to killing and destruction. He went over there to do just that. He was the initial aggressor.
If he had done this in his own home town he would have been condemned. What's wrong at home is wrong abroad. Morality is not defined by borders.
Sgt. Speer didn't commit any crimes that I'm aware of. His death was a tragedy. It's just that not all tragedies are criminal acts under the law.
