I don't believe the platoon medic can leap and bound to your fallen buddy WITH HIS STRETCHER AND MEDIC BAG. Remember the platoon is spread over quite an area (covered by 3 sections).Originally posted by fudgester:I think what you are supposed to do is to simply carry on with the mission. As heartless as it may sound, winning the mission is more critical than tending to your buddy. Besides, the platoon medic (who is much better equipped and trained in first aid) following behind can administer to your fallen buddy.
fire one bullet to ur buddy's head to end his sufferingOriginally posted by Icemoon:Ok .. I'm not discussing the big picture whether we should sacrifice one company to take one objective or some private ryan stories.
My scenario is very simple. Imagine your buddy kenna shot. He is bleeding profusely. But the whole section and platoon is in the midst of trench clearing.
But you can't pause to administer first aid right? If pause, one less person to do fire AND movement.
So how? You suck thumb do leap and bound and watch him bleed to death behind? Moreover by right is two person charge trench one .. now one person charge trench your life will be in danger too ..
That'll be a misfire.Originally posted by ceecookie:fire one bullet to ur buddy's head to end his suffering![]()
at least he die faster than suffering from bleedingOriginally posted by Icemoon:That'll be a misfire.
You'll be charged.![]()

By the way .. who will do cover fire for the medic ah? Who is the medic's buddy anyway? If medic shot who will tend to him?
heh heh...Originally posted by ditzy:Geneva convention states you can't shoot at the medic, so you don't really have to worry about the medic being shot at.But if you ask me, I think its a load of bu||sh|t.

not much first aid to do actually. Can only apply compression. I heard of some powder that will help coagulation so maybe just throw him some of those things and some morphine then fcuk off loh.Originally posted by Icemoon:Ok ..

Actually I was referring to the scenario of stray bullets hitting him. See hor .. if you're targeting a trench, you'll know who is shooting at you and you'll shoot that person. Cover fire mah .. so another group can do the movement.Originally posted by ditzy:Geneva convention states you can't shoot at the medic, so you don't really have to worry about the medic being shot at.But if you ask me, I think its a load of bu||sh|t.

No .. I'm not a medic.Originally posted by fudgester:Question: are you a medic?
I was a platoon medic before I eventually became company medic. Yes, I've done leap and bound with stretcher and medical orderly pouch many times before. Heavy, unwieldy, and very tiring, but it can be done. I know it's also not easy to tend to every single casualty in a huge area, but nothing much you can do about that.

Combat medic carry the same M16 or SAR21 as the rifleman. I don't see why they cannot be shot at.Originally posted by hisoka:if pple really follow then i send an army of medics to take over the country can le.......................
If a wild boar was after the medic's flesh, you think the wild boar gives a damn about the geneva convention?Originally posted by Icemoon:Combat medic carry the same M16 or SAR21 as the rifleman. I don't see why they cannot be shot at.
Geneva convention got say medics cannot fire at the enemy?![]()
What can I say? You simply can't account for every single contingency and scenario. No matter how sui sui you do the fire movement drills, you can still get hit by stray rounds and fragmentation shards from grenades. One of the worst things that could happen to the infantry platoon is that the medic gets hit, and there's no way to prevent that totally.Originally posted by Icemoon:No .. I'm not a medic.
The question is not whether you can do leap and bound .. but whether you can do them successfully before a [stray] round hit you.
Besides .. even in platoon level drill .. they don't emphasize on your movement. They're more concerned whether the riflemen can do fire movement and trench clearing drills sui sui or not. I suspect it is only during ATEC that they pay attention to your movement.
