It's the same thing colechristensen brought up:

> The US has killed thousands of “militants” (and many people who were certainly innocent) with drone strikes in places where we’re not engaged in active conflict and without due process.

And if they weren't war casualties on account of not being in a war zone, then they are simply executions.



You must be in captivity to be executed.
