He was a "medic." Isn't it about time to put that sob-story to rest?

Sgt. Chris Speer was an elite Delta Force soldier. Every single one of them is trained to be a lethal weapon. Every special forces unit gives certain members extra training in combat first aid, and in his unit that was Speer. However he carried weapons and was prepared to use them just like any other combat soldier.

The laws of war are clear concerning medics. They must wear an identifying insignia, such as a red cross on their clothing. They may NOT take part in any combat duties. They may only carry a sidearm, and that is only to be used to protect the sick and injured under their care.

Sgt. Speer did none of those things. The instant he went into potential battle with any survivors in the bombed compound, he was an ordinary combatant.
