The Most Popular Soldiers

[browningautorifle]

In modern times, most combat medics carry a personal weapon, to be used to protect themselves and the wounded or sick in their care.

For a fact, when I was younger I asked the medics why they had a SMG 9MM C1 on them in the field...and one answered exactly that. They were carrying to protect the Surgeon and their wounded patients in dire situations. Remember the Japanese were not observers of the Geneva Convention during the war. I of course speak of times 30 years after in my experiences. Sentryduty will be able to update on Afghanistan during this recent conflagration...
