I did have a similar hypothetical thought along those lines. IF the guard force had full view of what was going on from the start of the incident and IF they knew that the individual being attacked was military and their life was in immediate and mortal danger and IF they had constant PID on the attackers, where would they have been on RoE grounds regarding engaging the attackers?

I suspect that is more of a rhetorical question than anything given the current litigious nature of society but possibly an interesting question for the Legads and CCS if we really are going down the route of military personnel being 'fair game' for pretty much anyone who disagrees with anything we have done over the past couple of centuries.
