I mean, you’re basically asking why designate things as war crimes. Murder carries a higher crime than sexual assault, yet killing in war is ok, but having sex with them instead is a war crime?
Well. Yes. It actually is for a very good reason. It comes down to who you’re targeting. Militaries are often expected to be fighting enemy combatants or blowing up strategic objectives.
It goes to another level when you aren’t fighting the opposing military and you start fighting the civilians in the area.
