I can't see how that detracts from the symbol - if anything, it makes it clearer what it represents. If there was a game with Nazis carrying red crosses instead of swastikas or something, this post might make sense, but it just seems unreasonable to me.
- chrisco255 5y agoEspecially given that first aid kits are often marked in similar ways.
- crooked-v 5y agoThe point is to strictly maintain the symbol as indicating members of the internationally neutral Red Cross and Red Crescent, not just "healing". If a war happens and a bunch of people on either side are using the red cross symbol to indicate medics, then members of the actual Red Cross are at risk of being accidentally targeted along with them.
- dawnerd 5y agoIf someone is going to target medics I’m pretty sure their morals are gone to the point where they don’t care if it’s Red Cross or not.
- Tomte 5y ago> If a war happens and a bunch of people on either side are using the red cross symbol to indicate medics They do, medical branches of the military are allowed to use the symbols.
- mcguire 5y agoRight. And you're not supposed to shoot at them.
