I don't think you got quite what I was trying to say.  Perhaps this
little play will make my meaning more clear:

The scene:  A marine APC busts through a wall.  The back opens.  A
squad of hard-charging US marines swarm out, taking the hapless
defenders by complete surprise.

Marine Sergeant:  "Hands over your head, Canadian scum!"

Victim: "No disparar, senor!"
