I’m curiosu as to which fighting force actually follows this though. If you’re fighting someone/in a firefight with someone, if you come across a medic with his hands up what is preventing you from blasting the dude? Or doing worse to him? It’s not like there are people in the warzone with a clipboard and pencil being like ‘mmyup that’s a warcrime you can’t do that’. I feel like medics probably get blasted/executed all the time.
