Isn't pretending you're civilian like a war crime or something?

Also pretending you are a medic is a big nono on the Geneva's convention.

It looks like they are trying to get the war crime bingo.

Also killing wounded/unconscious/incapacitated/hospitalised/trying-to-surrender enemies is a war crime. They just don't give a fuck because nobody stops them.
