    Here is the question that I’ll pose for debate:

    Is a US citizen protected by the US armed forces if they chose to enter an active warzone as a non-combatant without the consent of the US government?

    Please explain your answer.

      Doesn’t fucking matter. The US doesn’t look at national government forces killing American civilians neutrally in any circumstance - except, it seems, in the case of Israel. This isn’t some paramilitary or rebel group that killed an American civilian. This is literally the security forces of an ‘ally’.
