Bush's latest acrocity - Armed Medics!

Here's a stunning bit of news out of the Pentagram: It seems that they're starting to train medics in the art of combat now. Whatever happened to the Geneva Convention?

I'm aware of several celebrated instances of 'all hands on deck' where the medics, cooks, and even chaplains were given weapons and sent out to fight... (Pearl Harbor, Salerno, Anzio) but these seemed to be extraordinary circumstances and not a part of the regular training.This seems to me to be an extraordinary violation of the rules of war, and really should be a wakeup call to the rest of the world as to just how debased and derelict the United States has become.

Even the Nazis respected a medic, and theirs were unarmed as well. If you're a WWII buff, there literally hundreds of stories out there about both sides respecting each other, and even helping to evacuate wounded troops in combat situations, without firing a shot, and then going back to their lines as if this was completely normal.

That won't be happening under Bush, thanks to this latest outrage, medics have become targets.
