Special Report Transcript Episode 75, Section 5, Time 46:11

The moral paradox of war is that in war soldiers may kill; soldiers may kill enemy soldiers, they may intentionally, deliberately kill in combat enemy soldiers without that being murder. Combatants may legitimately kill other combatants, but the fundamental principle of justice in war is the distinction between combatants and non-combatants. You may never, even in a just war, deliberately target a civilian, a non combatant, a bystander.
