"No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law."

And to me it is clear that "person" does not here refer to non-citizens against whom the U.S. military is waging war. Applying the 4th Amendment in a military context - extending the Bill of Rights guarantees to our wartime adversaries - would make waging war impossible.

I think it's clear that the 4th Amendment refers to persons within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S. -- has nothing to do with enemy soldiers in time of war. I don't think you mean to be saying that the U.S. military is now at war with individuals in the U.S., do you?
