He is waging War as defined under his Constitutional role as Commander in Chief and he can issue a shoot on sight, or accept no surrender rule on people such asthese.I had always thought that it would be a war crime to shoot unarmed members of the opposition if they were trying to surrender. Is that incorrect?

Only if they are Combatants or Non-Combatants as defined under the rules of land war. A sabotour, terrorist and spy all have special cases as they are neither proper Combatants or Non-combatants
