Not wearing a uniform when you participate in war doesn't make you an illegitimate target, it makes you an illegal combatant.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> it makes you an illegal combatant Technically yes. Unlawful combatant or unprivileged combatant is more accurate. It isn't illegal for a soldier to not wear a uniform. It just means the Geneva Conventions don't apply.
- mrkstu 2y agoIt also means you're the one responsible for the bystander deaths inflicted when its necessary to use unconventional means to target you.
