Qasam Solemani was fair game
Col. Mike Walker, USMC (ret)
All,
Every member of the US and Allied armed forces I served with in the Middle East was fair game for the enemy to kill at any time and at any place.
If Solemani's Iranian forces could kill or, even better, capture and torture us to death for information then they would have done so in a heartbeat.
Solemani was a uniformed soldier on active duty in the Middle East directing active military operations against the United States and our Allies.
Just like all of us active duty US and Allied personnel who served or are serving in the Middle East, we were and are fair game.
So too was Qasam Solemani. He fought, he killed, and in turn he was killed. So sad -- too bad.
