Here is my response on given questions in the activity. Did Buzz commit a war crime? In my opinion, Possibly YES In war law, pillage (looting) of civilian property is prohibited. So here ✔️Buzz broke into a grocery store. ✔️He took food and gold jewelry that belonged to civilians. ✔️Taking jewelry especially shows it was not purely for survival or military necessity. Soldiers cannot steal civilian property and the act itself could still legally be classified as looting.
Was taking the car justified? Possibly YES because, Factors that could justify Beez's action are , ✔️He was wounded. ✔️His ammunition and food were gone. ✔️He needed urgent medical care. ✔️The vehicle was used only to reach a hospital. Emergency use → possibly lawful Keeping or transferring the car → likely unlawful
When there is no crime punishing the military then no crime is committed. A person cannot be punished for an act unless a law already defined it as a crime when it happened. The military cannot be punished arbitrarily for acts not defined as offenses. However, this doesn't mean soldiers are above the law.
