    Shooting stuff at the gun range is like the most easy part of “army training”.

    Hypothetically speaking, how much time spent at a training camp is necessary for one to be categorized as a military target / enemy combatant? I don’t know how the conventions work.

      Essentially, as soon as you have signed a contract to join a nation’s armed forced as a combatant, you are one and can be fought as such. Generally speaking you can be engaged in all contexts unless you are actively doing three things: surrendering, bailing out of a plane using a parachute as an emergency(not dropping as part of a paratrooper assault) or if you are in the process of being rescued from a shipwreck.

        True for targetted assassinations but anyone on the training/military grounds is a valid target as it’s not like you can go review their each individual contracts to confirm this. You just destroy the entire base that spawns orcs into your lands.

          Even targeted strikes on individual combatant (generals and other officers) are not considered war crimes. If you have enough reason to think that a person is an enemy combatant (they carry weapons and are dressed in the uniform of a belligerent enemy nation) you may engage them specficically.

    They will never get send to the front, they will be used for propaganda to undermine the next US election. Lots of chuds in the US becoming 18 this year who will listen to these two cunts.

    They might the first ones to get training in a couple years. Aren’t they just scooping people up and feeding them directly into drone bombs nowadays?

    God, it’s as if I thought I had reached peak disdain for these cunts but they have more to give.
