Follow the law.So what do you propose be done about obviously disloyal and criminal citizens hanging out in a distant warzone, obviously well outside the reach of any kind of law enforcement or diplomatic effort?

And now you have a human shield.Follow the law.
It's thinking like this that got us in the dire straights we're currently in. What is the Constitution? A piece of paper? Or does it mean something?And now you have a human shield.
Congrats, you just made human trafficking of US citizens a sure fire way to ensure bad guys survive
Great, catch 22 for criminals and terrorists, enforced by own law. The law is meant to serve the country that creates and enforces it, not the other way around.Follow the law.
It's law of the land. Yemen is not US land, it's not that outrageous to say somewhat different rules apply there. All the truly important issues you may have with US government's behavior and legality of it regard things happening on US land.It's thinking like this that got us in the dire straights we're currently in. What is the Constitution? A piece of paper? Or does it mean something?
Even less of a reason to care about the more controversial foreign situations (ironically ones that the leftists care about even more than you), when you have far more straightforward situations locally to make your case about instead, nevermind that they regard different institutions.Like the leftists, you are dealing in edge cases. And the US government has already shown itself to be all to eager to act in this way toward its citizens even in its own lands - witness Ruby Ridge and Waco, witness the January 6th political prisoners. All excused by "we have to fight the terrorists." You know, the justification that gave use the Patriot Act.
It means whatever the government decides depending on the administration.It's thinking like this that got us in the dire straights we're currently in. What is the Constitution? A piece of paper? Or does it mean something?

I would just like to see actual declarations of war from our Government.Warfare operates under different laws.
And unless they are clearly being held as a hostage (or were specifically sent as a negotiator), a US citizen standing right next to an unlawful enemy combatant at an enemy base on foreign soil, is dealt with under the laws of war, not under the civil or criminal law of the jurisdiction of the USA.
That hasn't been done since WW2 hasn't it?I would just like to see actual declarations of war from our Government.
Odds are the US would just blow them up like the Obama Admin did to Anwar al-Awlaki and his son.In USA, legally impossible.
Correct.That hasn't been done since WW2 hasn't it?
Total war America is a beastI would just like to see actual declarations of war from our Government.
They could train them. They have a past history doing it.Looks like North Korea might be pushing closer to recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics. If this is true maybe North Korea can help replenish Russian and Seperatist Munitions and Armored Vehicles losses.
North Korea Inches Closer to Pro-Russia Separatists in Ukraine
Envoys for North Korea have apparently increased contact with Russia and its proxy separatist organizations in Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk.www.breitbart.com

It's the bane of being a government fighting an insurrection that can hide. It then becomes victory at any cost because no one can literally shit out replacements to keep it going until an insurgency is just too tired and gives in.It'd be nice if things were so simple when dealing with terrorist organizations.
They can be crushed but your going to have to go into very dark places to make that happen.It's the bane of being a government fighting an insurrection that can hide.

I know. Agent orange, the Phoenix program, restriction of movement, concentration camps, any of the darker shit of COIN or there's the Roman solution.They can be crushed but your going to have to go into very dark places to make that happen.
