Drones. They'd be shooting at drones. The DoD isn't dumb enough to send american bodies in to produce dead american bodies - even if the situation genuinely called for it.
Thing is, as the scotus dissents are noticing - these people aren't originalists, or textualists. They're a post policy post process insurgency of convenience bound together by negative partisanship and absolutely nothing else. To an extent, misinformation about our misadventures in the middle-east these past few years buttressed this notion. Being that magats here believed (for hilariously thematic reasons) that insurgents elsewhere were "winning" against us forces, they now posit that they might do the same.
Acceptable terms, if you ask me. I'd love to see the magats "winning" like their new heroes did. They've managed to fully exhaust the gargantuan amount of patience I have for my fellow americans from a political standpoint. I used to console myself with the idea that, as was famously said - we'll do the right thing after we try everything else. Not so much anymore. The field of "everything else" now includes so much that it amounts to a suicide pact on every crucial issue we face.
