Do army medics shoot people?
Yes, we do. Army medics used to only carry a 9mm handgun to protect themselves and their patients. Since previous wars were fought against enemies who mostly followed the rules set by the Geneva Convention, that was all we needed. However, the enemies we fight now have no respect for these rules. Tacticle Combat Casualty Care requires that we suppress enemy fire first. These days, army medics (at least in my brigade) carry an M9 handgun and an M4 rifle. We carry both so that if the situation permits, we can leave the rifle with someone so that our hands are free to treat a casualty. Or, if the situation does not allow, we have our rifle to return effective fire. Hope this helps.
