under international law, bin laden is an enemy combatant. and one of the points of war is you can kill enemy combatants. now, if they surrendered and cease being a combatant, then you have to take them into custody. but you have no obligation to make it easy for someone to surrender. even the more restrictive view of -- eliot, that some european nations hold, that you have to take steps that will not compromise your mission, in order to take someone into custody, rather than kill them when they're an enemy combatant, that standard is easily met here. this is in the middle of the night. they meet armed resistance. they don't know if the pakistani military's going to be closing in, going to impede their departure. every second counts. it would compromise the mission to do anything other than use lethal force against bin laden and get him out as quickly as possible. so even under restricted view, it's clearly lawful. >> i'll speak for the entire supreme court. you win that argument 9-0. so far, you're way ahead. how about the drone attacks? doe

the army has been in continuous combat for 10 years. which puts a tremendous burden on stress, and soldiers, and their families. the army has made progress in finding ways to mitigate the stress of multiple combat locations and long family separations. the current size of the army allows more time at home before being deployed, however, in a speech earlier this year at the u.s. military academy, secretary gates indicated that it will be increasingly difficult for army leaders to justify the number, size, and cost of the -- today i hope to hear your views on what the future army force makes should be after operations in iraq and afghanistan wind down. finally, i look forward to hearing from you both on your assessment of the army's readiness to respond to unforeseen future military contingencies. we are all aware of potential threats from nations such as china, north korea, and iran. but there are many more unknown flashpoints around the globe that of the u.s. could be called upon to engage. within the army continuing to support operatio
