Look up the damn word, man. You're making a fool of yourself.

He's not making a fool of himself. He's trying to point out that the
word has different (even contradictory) meanings.

The first meaning in the Shorter Oxford is "The act of standing still,
or stopping in one's course; halt; delay." It's only when you get to
the third meaning of the verb intransitive that you get to "Apprehend
... by legal authority."

Now you have to define apprehend. Sounds like more than detaining to
me.

In Military Circles, when you arrest, you detain whether it be voluntary or
otherwise. For instance, a person that is confined to quarters is arrested,
meaning, prevented from movement. When you aprehend, you place under
restraints involuntarily, usually by detention of some kind.

Incorrect. Art 15 hearings can impose "restriction" on an individual. It is
up to the CO to determine the boundaries and scope of such restriction
as long as it does not rise to the level of "imprisonment".
