      Well, but those are "enemy combatants" which is just neolib slang for "brown people I don't like". Those don't count as people, aesthetically speaking, so it's fine since neolibs literally only care about aesthetics.

        The new euphemism for civilian victims of the US airborne murder campaign is "associated threats" (it used to be "collateral damage" before that; this kind of bloatspeak keeps evolving constantly). "Enemy combatants" is how Cheney and Bush called brown people they wanted to disappear to a blacksite and torture for 20 years.
