See discussion on merger at: Talk:Unlawful combatant/Archive 4#Merge with Enemy combatant --Assawyer 01:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
This presents little to no discussion on opposing viewpoints on the abuse of enemy combatant status. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.138.6 (talk • contribs) 16:25, 2006 October 4
Removed parts of "legal status" for blatant non-NPOV anti-US/anti-Bush statements, until further edits can be made to fix it. Anapologetos 16:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I've added the Globalize tag because the article overwhelmingly addresses the issues related to the USA. I would appreciate very much if the editors globalize the article rather than remove the tag without discussion. --Javit 11:43, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Enemy combatant my be a term that exists under US law, but it is a general term for a hostile combatant as opposed to a friendly combatant. As the US use it in a legal framework there needs to be a section on the term from a US perspective, but the term is already globalised. So I am removing the American spelt globalize template. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 12:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I propose changing the spelling of al-Qaida to al-Qaeda. Any objections? Lester 20:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
In this interview, Morris Davis states that the Treaty of Westphalia legitimizes the detention of enemy combatants by nations. Is this mentioned in the article? Badagnani (talk) 17:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
The judges considering the captives' habeas petitions would be considering whether the evidence used to compile the allegations the men and boys were enemy combatants justified a classification of "enemy combatant".
What? I don't even know what s/he is trying to say here. SineSwiper (talk) 22:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
A historic example of a combatant in civil versus military justice:
Following a 29 Dec 1890 clash at Wounded Knee Creek, a Sioux Indian Plenty Horses (of Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota) shot and killed a US Army Officer Lt Edward W. Casey. The Army arrested Plenty Horses and jailed him at Fort Meade. The Army considered him a combatant and the killing an act of war; once the state of war was over, the Army felt that Plenty Horses should have been sent back to the reservation. Somehow, murder charges were filed in civilian court and Plenty Horses was tried in criminal court and convicted of murder. A federal judge who heard the appeal of the murder conviction ruled that criminal law on murder did not apply to a combatant during a state of war, and Plenty Horses was released, since the war was over. (Robert M. Utley, Peace on Paper, War on the Plains, Wild West, Oct 2008, p. 37) Historically for a lawful or even unlawful combatant, being tried for an act of war in court martial can be different from being tried for murder in court civil.

The final sentence of the lede graf makes a claim I cannot parse. 'In the case of a civil war or an insurrection the term "enemy state" may be replaced by the more general term "Party to the conflict"'. On first reading it, I thought that the phrase "enemy of the state" was removed. But then I opened the documents to which the footnote links and the word "enemy" doesn't even appear. It speaks of "enemies", but the quotation argues for a high level connection. I'm no expert on the subject, and it may be simply an inaccurate link, but the point isn't even clear. Perhaps there's some point about non-state actors differing from agents of an "enemy state"? Can anyone clear this up?Czrisher (talk) 20:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Is it even remotely accurate to describe a phrase as being used "historically" when it goes back less than a decade, and, at the same time, appears to overthrow centuries of historical language usage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoshNarins (talk • contribs) 21:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
- The Prussians in 1870 required every enemy combatant not merely to have evidence of his enrolment in a military force organized by the French government, but also to wear a distinctive uniform or mark of dress.
The introduction refers to differing meanings over time. But what is not clear is whether these are legal definitions or "officialise"/slang, and whether they apply only to the USA or are definitions under international law.119.224.100.246 (talk) 02:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
