You're not going to get very far with that definition.Partly I have to side with Russ. Every army, when in war, kills it's own share of civilians.paulh
Usually when wearing a uniform of some sort and belonging to some sort of recognised government. Sneaking around in civilian clothes kinda changes things....
Many irregular units fought the British in the Revolutionary War.
I do not think the French Resistance would take kindly to your definition.
Nor for that matter the flying columns of the old IRA that freed Ireland from British occupation by 1921.
Nor does simply wearing a uniform make one acceptable. The Nazi SS comes to mind.
