| If a sniper "targets" and kills an enemy soldier, whether or not a battle is taking place, is that called an "assasination"? An assasination makes the dead a "victim". A "targeted killing", if the dead is a bonafide combatant in the course of an ongoing battle (as is the case here), makes the dead a "casualty". Doesn`t your choice of terms communicate something which is not accurate? Isn`t it time to call it what it is ("war", "casualties", and, yes, "victims", when appropriate). |
