102. In the context of a war zone,

yes, of course. The Canadians--being the soldiers who are shooting and being shot at by Americans--would be the enemies of the American army. If you do not like that word, sanitize it to OPFOR if you instead choose. Either way, killing them would not be a war crime. It would be morally abhorrent, but so long as they were armed and had been given a chance to stand down (which a declaration of invasion would count as) it would not be a war crime.

Personally, they would not be my enemy. I would not refer to them as enemies in a context outside the extremely specific one above. Why do you ask?
