It's always been accepted that the US government can kill citizens who have taken up arms against it.

This is just lawfare by terrorist supporters to interfere with US military operations.

'It's always been accepted that the US government can kill citizens who have taken up arms against it.'

That usually has been under the theme of treason and a declaration of war. Blindly giving the power to kill a citizen to the executive without a trial or review is hardly the way of a republic.
