    This is a valid way to camouflage rocket artillery that was seen in Iraq by US armed forces.

    It won’t stop the US and S. Korea from also just bombing every garbage truck if it comes to it, but we then waste a ton of bombs on harmless garbage trucks trying to hit ~100 rocket trucks.

    It’s a good idea.

        No.

        Destroying rocket launchers is a military objective. Killing civilians while trying to achieve a military objective is not a war crime. There is even a term for those civilians: “collateral damage”.

        However, killing civilians for its own sake, without a military objective, may be a war crime.

      And after the West bombs those vehicles, NGOs will claim that the US were killing civilians. Genius!
