>>But yeah, there is, I think, a difference between fighting amongst those who have voluntarily put their life on the line for a particular cause and something more 'asymmetric'. Like the difference between a fight and a mugging.

I'm not sure that the fight/mugging thing really scales to conflict on this sort of level tbh. But fair enough, I take the point.

But what of conscription, a practice still used in many countries (including Truffy's Switzerland, although that's a bit different again)?

Its not really something I've put a great deal of thought into, but it just seems fairer and more honourable (note, not necessarily reaching the status of 'honourable', just moreso) to attack someone who has the capacity to defend themselves rather than 'innocent' civilians.

If there really is an intent to attack or punish the populace, then they should at least be warned that war has been declared.

Then again, the terrorists would probably counter that by saying that the people imprisoned/killed/etc weren't given any warnings, so in actual fact they're being perfectly fair, so I dunno!

My life is hard, I suffer lots

>nothing honourable about targetting civilians rather than military centres

Yet everyone does it. Bar none.

BEAUT!
