No, it was not. If you wear the uniform of my enemy, and your forces fire
on my forces' medics, I will have no reservations about shooting yours. If
you respect our medics, I will return the courtisy (does that have an "e"
in it?). Even if you don't, I won't shoot at medievac shoppers and
ambulances, unless they are firing (a guy clinging to the side with a rilfe
doesn't count), and never at hospitals
To me, being a medic is not the same as being an uninvolved party, just
like a water truck. If it is an in-field support (non-combat) unit, and
ours are being purposely targeted, I will return the favor. IF you choose
to be an univolved party, that's fine. However, I know too many medics
(USAF PJs and an Army SF medic) who (a) can "out medic" a line medic, (b)
out fight grunts, and are loaded for bear when they take the field, and
EMTs who joined the Marines or Army becuase they were tired of picking up
hurt kids, to consider them to be a "non-threat".
I know that sounds confusing. Basically, it depends on the medic, who
they work for, and what they are doing. If they are being a good little
corpsman, and carrying nothing more than a sidearm and some smoke, and just
trying to help peole, fine. You carry the red cross and a rifle, you
become a probable target. You fire that rifle at me or my forces, and you
are a target.
