Yeah... if you've watched Band of Brothers or Saving Private
Ryan, the medics were unarmed.
I once read this interesting article about a WWII medic... it seems
that the Nazis kept sniping at him and his casualties. In the end,
he got so fed up that he got a rifle for himself.
One day, while a reporter was interviewing him, he was asked on why
he was carrying a rifle.
The medic responded with a straight face: 'I use it to kill wild
untamed beasts.'
