Visiting The Thoughts Of Yet One More Person

I'm lost

I can't figure out what this trial is about:

A judge held pretrial hearings for Omar Khadr, who was 15 when he allegedly killed a U.S. soldier, Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer of Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a grenade during a battle in Afghanistan in 2002.


This guy has been held for 6 years, and is finally an adult (21 years old now). He finally comes to trial for killing an enemy during war? Where does that lead us? Does every American soldier who kills an enemy during war now have to face trial also? Seems to me if you put this young man on trial, then every American in Iraq and Afghanistan needs to go on trial too.

Something's not computing in my brain.
