What are the rules of engagement, so to speak, for civilians who come into contact with enemy soldiers? It has happened before. Ben Kanahele, a native Hawaiian, was awarded the Medal of Merit, America's highest civilian decoration, for killing a downed Japanese pilot on the Hawaiian island of Niihau.

>Harada pulled her off the pilot, who then shot Ben Kanahele three times: in the groin, stomach, and upper leg. However, Kanahele was still able to pick up Nishikaichi, in the same manner that he hoisted the sheep that were commercially raised on the island, and hurl the pilot into a stone wall.

>Ella Kanahele then bashed him in the head with a rock, and Ben slit his throat with his hunting knife. Harada then turned the shotgun on himself, committingsuicide.

Well when the foreign soldier gathers weapons, traitor scum locals become his goons, takes hostages, and tries to murder people including women, seems like the only limits on what you cant do to him are only in your imagination

I'm well familiar with the incident, but what if the Hawaiians had killed Nishikaichi when they found him instead of taking him prisoner? Kanahele wouldn't have been shot three times with a nambu, but would he have been able to defend himself in court?

Considering what happened elsewhere in hawaii that day i dont think angthing would have happened.

If the pilot surrendered and wasnt part of a suicide attack and still was killed by the locals than maybe a different story

If he's helpless, capture them treat them well enough that they may be interviewed by proper personnel.

If it's an occupying force leave them the hell alone until a bigger coordinated force gives you an objective.

If it's total resistance skirmish, subvert and try not to kill each other.

they didn't know war had begun, but enemy combatants you can just kill. funny that the japanese residents decisions' probably played a significant role in the internment of japanese americans.

>probably
It certainly did. Of course, you never hear about the Niihau incident in school because it discredits the narrative about America being oppressive and racist.

>>34638563
Damn. Now the internment camps seem like a good idea.

Wear a uniform if only a velcro flag. LOAC says you should be treated like a lawful combatant.

They were always a good idea if you aren't a moron.

Pretty sure when Rudolf Hess bailed out in the middle of nowhere in Scotland the farmer who found him, helped him out of his parachute, took him to his house and his wife gave him tea. He'd have been within his right to shoot the prick though.
