If you are deemed an enemy by the US Government, there is no limitation on their use of force against you. The decision to deem you an enemy has no process and is totally arbitrary.
It’s the nightmare that this country was purportedly specifically designed to avoid.

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.
