Bill... "we have no good rules for dealing with enemies who are not in uniform..."

All is fair in love and war. The fact that "they" don't wear uniforms is fair... they need every edge they can get. They are fighting for their survival... that's all they know.

Re drones... at least the drones have cameras that are viewed by young computer game players so that some civilians have a chance. I have said this many times - here I go again - better the drones with cameras than a sniper shooting someone at over 2km and having NO idea who the person is. Sure, a satellite might see the person "sneaking around" with a gun and tell the sniper he's clear to engage, but there is a shitload of guys in Tennesee doing the same thing hunting turkeys... fer fuck sake!
