The bottom line is that if your a medic in a combat patrol unit you are likely to take fire as well as return it---your just as likely to kill the enemy, especially considering the fact that the medics job it to go foward and give aid to someone who has just been injured (often shot). By that the Medic is exposed to a good deal of risk and may often take up a fighting posture in the process (in order to defend himself from the onslaught of fire, all while attempting to give some sort of aid).
I know the Medic is supposed to be a defensive component of the Combat Infantry but in reality the lines often become blurred.

Point taken.
But I still don't think they should be accused of being murderers, them or any soldier w/o any evidence. __________________
