Distinction means that combatants must distinguish between combatants and civilians. Any use of lethal force must be primarily directed against combatants. Civilians casualties must be minimized through careful and pragmatic planning. In the movie, Colonel Childers clearly violates this principle. When he orders his men to “waste those motherfuckers”, he is grouping the enemy combatants and the civilians together as a single group of targets. His subordinates never get…
