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.

Yes, but I haven't seen the footage, I'm so incredibly busy you see. So I couldn't possibly remark on whether or not this is or was a war crime. And, actually, it's really quite gauche of you to ask, to be perfectly honest.
