> Don't forget it's a war crime to not wear a uniform during combat
lol those dudes are getting shot at with gunships and tanks and have AKs and old mines and stuff to fight back with. They should invest in uniforms to make it "fair"?
It's not about making it fair. When soldiers dress as civilians in civilian areas during combat. It's nearly impossible to make sure a real civilian doesn't get harmed.
Whether or not that is an isolated incident is irrelevant. The US has a reputation for shooting civilians. The US media doesn't help either, often portraying soldiers shooting civilians even in fiction.
