^ that is the /Debate of this discussion and why no Magat will even attempt to address the content of it.

It is written in a way, DELIBERATELY, to deny military personnel discretion of 'THINKING' a person might still be a threat so 'i will kill them regardless'.

That is why it states as FACT that 'shipwrecked personnel are "out of the fight".

"Out of the fight" is a full stop statement. No debate. No discretion. No substitution your own judgment.

and no one can legally kill anyone "out of the fight".

shit stain has no clue what collateral damage means

no retardo, it does not mean innocent

Collateral damage means unintended harm or destruction to non-military people, animals, or objects that aren't the primary target, often occurring as a side effect of a military operation or other significant action. It's a euphemism for accidental civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure (like homes, hospitals, schools) during attacks meant for legitimate military targets, though the term is now used more broadly for any unforeseen negative consequences.
 
no shit retardo

destroying the boat was the goal. the rest was "collateral"

Read it again. Collateral damage means unintentional targeting.

It's like saying, "Oops we didn't mean to kill some people on that boat".
