It's not as if children and old women can't fire an ak, or lob a grenade abaris. They can, and often do. Especially in conflicts like the one in Syria. Those are the folks you really have to watch out for, imo. They're great weapons, both on the field and in the larger pr war. I'm not asking you to justify what they did..I don't think it's justifiable. I'd just shoot an enemy combatant. I wouldn't behead a POW. I'm asking you whether or not considering the child as an enemy combatant changes your view of the incident, not whether you think it justifies it.
