What are the methods which the Provost used to interrogate POWs?

Sounds awful.... but I can think why this may be taught in our sniper school. It is very demoralising to the enemy if his medic is shot , particularly while treating other wounded. If you read combat history, the combat medic at platoon and company level , is given no chance at all. He will usually be shot at.Originally posted by riken1974:Geneva Convention....can somebody tell me why our sniper is trained to hunt down medic....where medical personnels are not to be kill during wartime if following Geneva Convention....so when war happens...all hell break loose...who cares about Geneva Convention
The only "medics" I believe that the enemy may consider not shooting at , are those working at the BCS or medical battalion level. Probably because at this level, there could be enemy soldiers also taken there to be treated.
Even so, during WW 2, the Japs also attacked military hospitals and killed doctors and also civilians. -
Its awfully hard not to hit medics too. When you are in the heat of combat you will most probably be firing at anything that moves in your field of fire. Furthermore combat medics are armed as well, there is always a chance that he will kill you if you don't kill him. War throughout the ages have always being chaotic, just that we try to make it as organised as possible with modern technology, training and planning.

I'm talking about sniper which their high value targets include commanders,PC and medic. It's premeditated. It's totally different if the medic is shooting at you and you are shooting right back at him.Originally posted by tankee1981:Its awfully hard not to hit medics too.
