ACF 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Well, the concept of trying to impose rules on war has an inherent craziness. But no - you're not supposed to purposely fire on things or people displaying the Red Cross be they medics, doctors, stretcher bearers or local nuns. If they're medics and not displaying the RC then that's a choice they've made with knowledge of the consequences. Can't help thinking what the legal implications of displaying a red cross are in these days of trademarking and the like - "nuns sued for illegally displaying red crosses while helping wounded". I think it's part, if not all, of the reason pharmacies and first aid things now sport the green cross. Anyway, OFP medics carry rifles and wear a white cross on a red field so technically are fair game - unless of course they're Swiss and deemed neutral . . .
