Yes. Miliary medics and clerics are unarmed, unlawful targets. Shooting them intentionally is a war crime. However, if they pick up and use a weapon, they make themselves unlawful combatants and they lose their protected status.

Military necessity, along with distinction, proportionality, humanity (sometimes called unnecessary suffering), and honor (sometimes called chivalry) are the five most commonly cited principles of international humanitarian law governing the legal use of force in an armed conflict.

It prohibits the use of “asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and of all analogous liquids, materials or devices” and “bacteriological methods of warfare”. This is now understood to be a general prohibition on chemical weapons and biological weapons, but has nothing to say about production, storage or transfer.

Shotguns. But yes, America’s enemy Germany tried to get the shotgun banned on the basis that they were unnecessarily painful, but the U.S. used them to quickly clear German trenches. America had a suspicion that Germany was declaring them illegal because they were effective, not because they were cruel.

Laser weapons specifically designed, as their sole combat function or as one of their combat functions, to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision (that is, to the naked eye or to the eye with corrective eyesight devices) are prohibited.

Playing dead to escape an enemy is okay. It would be considered a ruse of warfare, albeit a very dangerous one. Still, it could be and has been used by soldiers with little other choice. However, playing dead and then turning on an enemy that passed you by, might well be considered a violation of the rules of war.

Despite some assertions, they are not generally banned, but as incendiary weapons they are subject to the usage prohibitions described under Protocol III of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. Non-flamethrower incendiary weapons remain in modern military arsenals.

They are not allowed to pick and customise the weapon systems that make them feel good about being soldiers.

Its purpose is to provide safety and another tool in defeating the enemy.” While the Army has provided an official guide on how Soldiers can paint their rifles to provide camouflage in an environment where camouflage may be needed, Tamilio said the instruction is not permission for a Soldier to paint his weapon.

Tank crew do sleep in their own tanks, whether it is necessary or not. When I was on active duty as a US Army tanker we had a doctrine of “24 hour operations”. In the M-1 and M-60 series tanks it is possible to sleep in the gunner’s and loader’s positions while the tank is moving, if you’re careful.

Modern tanks are incredibly well-engineered machines that can complete various tasks autonomously. Tanks do not have any bathroom facilities. First of all, there is no room for a toilet. Tank has to be concealed from the outside world, ideally, so tank’s bathroom would have to have some sort of waste management system.

Most Soldiers reported sleeping 6 to 7 hours per night, regardless of duty status. However, nearly 1 in 3 reported getting less than 6 hours of sleep on weeknights/duty nights. Soldiers also reported getting more sleep on weekend/non-duty nights than on weeknights/duty nights.
