The problem with arming rebels

I have a simple question for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who favors training and arming Syrian rebels.

Many of these rebels gained combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan by fighting and killing U.S. forces.

So if our “military advisers” — including combat-experienced Special Forces members — should recognize any of these rebels, will they apprehend them?
