John is performing some moral gymnastics here, the whole essay boils down to this: When they kill innocents, it’s “morality under fire.” When you defend your family, it’s murder unless signed off by a bureaucracy. The “laws of war” are codes drafted by the same states that start the wars and all that spilled ink cannot transform mass civilian deaths into morally clean acts. It’s just another regime illusion. A set of bureaucratic rituals to cover up an ancient, brutal truth: the strong do what they will, the weak suffer what they must.
