I think majority of people will be in agreement with that ruling. Otherwise you end up with Military stating we can do as we wish, the laws do not apply to us. How does that one work in other countrys around the globe ?. Badly for civilian populations I would suggest hence easier to be in compliance with reasoanble laws.
