If you discover an enemy, what do you do?

Question

Answer 1

Avoid if at all possible!

Answer 2

I am a Soldier in Iraq, so my response will likely be different than what you would expect from the casual respondant.

The question is tricky; if we discover that we have been infiltrated by an enemy, then we attempt to conceal our knowledge of the enemy's subterfuge. We will then feed him with false intelligence and use him to our advantage, with the ultimate goal of using him to flush out other infiltrators. Eventually, we will detain him - blindfold and zip-tie his hands behind his back and remove his weapon from his posession. We will then present the evidence against him and try him in court, and hopefully he will either be executed (by the Iraqi government) or imprisoned.

If we discover him on the battlefield - it is a whole different story. Say for instance, we are driving along and someone demonstrates hostile intent. Depending upon the type and degree of the threat, we will either neutralize or incapacitate the threat. The most challenging part is discovering the enemy, however, once identified, we usually have no problem either capturing them or killing them; and depending upon their activities, resistance and so forth determines whether they are captured or killed.

Personally, I'd rather not have any enemies at all, but unfortunately in this world, religious ideologies advocate murder and their fanatical, ignorant followers make enemies of those (us) who would provide help and comfort. Instead the force us to treat them as enemies.

Answer 3

Some people say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Personally, I like to deal with everyone straightforwardly. You definitely shouldn't rearrange your life to avoid your enemies, but don't go out of your way to confront them, just because you dislike them.

I shall not consider one as an enemytill i am convinced that he is attempting to harm him and will del with him depending upon the degree of harm I anticipate . if he is bent upon taking anybody's life and does make anymove in that directioin , i will do my best to defend myself or protect the person whom he intends to ahrmn and would even do away with him , if that is possible and that iseems to the only way to keep out of harm. I shall use my brain much more than any weapon .I shall not be waiting to get justice form the courts of law if that course in my opinion would result in loss of life and more harm to anybody.
I have the first right of protecting my life and duty to protect the life of any one whose life is endangered by any other person wilfully with criminal intent .
