I am a FMSS Navy Corpsman from the 1980's, we were considered non-combatants (even issued a special photo ID by the Navy to show the enemy if captured) and not authorized to carry offensive weapons (only issued .45 cal pistol for defense purposes) or risk losing the non-combatant status. I have seen many videos on YouTube of Navy corpsman carrying and shooting the M-60 & M-16 offensively in Iraq...has their status changed since the 80's & 90's?
