“As I said, the idea is it is one thing for them to be in a capacity to provide protection and certainly take steps for self-defense. I am trying to draw a distinction of engaging in offensive combat missions because there is some concern they have been involved in that level of activity. Again, I hope the language used in existing law that draws a distinction between ground activity, combat activity, and noncombat activity, defensive activity, would be clear enough. Again, I am happy to spell out that language more clearly. I am just trying to avoid a situation where, again, people who are untrained, unregulated, and unsupervised can get us into a lot of difficulty in a very sensitive area.”
