[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 7457458, member: 6802178"] Is there much of a point to miss? Yes, and I will answer as curtly as you have - you missed it again. I suggest you look up the literal meaning of combat - a conflict between armed forces, or battle. Then look at my comments on proportionality, which I have been entirely consistent about - not as you falsely claim - 'ever widening the net', and ask yourself the honest question; "How many battles or conflicts between armed forces haven't involved trying to kill the enemy?" Of course you can take the lazy way out and try to redefine what combat means retrospectively, but that's a strawman argument. You can as some have use only the exceptions to the norm to try illogically to undermine the entire premise. But the exceptions don't prove the rule - there are exceptions to everything, even the operation of gravity - and you don't hear physicists arguing that gravity doesn't make things come back down again when you throw them up in the air because it might not exist as we understand it in a black hole.
