What happened to the Red Cross symbol in this conflict? Have we all gone beyond respecting the evacuation of the wounded?
A good point, But I fear Ukr and Ruz have entered what used to be called "savage warfare" in the days of Empire.
Under those [and only those] circumstances the RAMC and its predecessors were musketry-trained and armed. Thus on the NW frontier and against Zulus and Mahdists and other warriors if a wounded man could not be evacuated his best option was to save the last round for himself. In "European Warfare" protection of the RAMC was the task of the ASC component of Field Ambulances, and only the doctors had a pistol.
Returning to the present, I don't think either adversary makes much use of a Geneva Cross ............... the Convention is meaningless to the Orcs.
