I think this very much has a great deal to do with
Millennium's End.  If a character goes and performs
combat action, that happens to go against a US force,
what would happen to them?

What if the character was associated with a labeled
terrorist organization?  Guilt by association, even if
that person did not perform the offending action?

If the character finds out they are involved with a
terrorist organization, do they have the option of
leaving the group, and rejoining their governments,
without possible future prosecution?

There are a great deal of interesting international
law aspects involved here, that would add flavor to
any Millennium's End campaign.
