... "This rule is implicit in common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which requires that the wounded and sick be collected and cared for, because the protection of medical personnel is a subsidiary form of protection granted to ensure that the wounded and sick receive medical care.[10] The rule that medical personnel must be respected and protected is explicitly stated in Additional Protocol II.[11] In addition, under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “intentionally directing attacks against … personnel using the distinctive emblems of the Geneva Conventions in conformity with international law” constitutes a war crime in non-international armed conflicts.[12] In addition, this rule is contained in other instruments pertaining also to non-international armed conflicts.[13]"

Looks like the BORTAC actions are illegal on the world stage, and against the United States which supports the Geneva Convention mandates.
