Killing in War and Moral Equality

Do innocent civilians who will be killed in a justified attack on a nearby military target have a right to defend themselves by shooting down the bomber pilot? I argue that they do not, and that Jeff McMahan's view that they do have such a right-that there is a moral equivalence between pilot and civilian-is flawed in much the same way that Michael Walzer's moral equivalence of combatants-a position that McMahan has so persuasively refuted-is flawed.
