Back in the day, when rules of war were actually definable, they would be called spies, assassins, and saboteurs. No trial. Caught up to mischief while not in uniform, they could expect no less than to be put against the wall and shot.

What Nation State besides their imaginary Caliphate are the Islamo-Aminals fighting for?
