    Where things get a little messy about this type of discussion, is the idea that so many times those people we’re labeling “civilians” end up being guerrillas, instead. I find it disturbing that so many that are willing to discuss our immorality in a war situation because “civilians” get killed, art willing to discuss even the possibility that such people are often not civilians at all.
