So, an act of war (throwing a grenade at soldiers) is now nothing more than a crime?

As for reading into things, that is not how reading is done. You are supposed to read the words, understand what the words mean and understand from the combination of words what the author is saying. Your own interpretations are irrelevant. It doesn't matter what you think the words mean, it only matters what the author meant.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
