Michael Yon took this photograph of an armed medic last year in Zhari District, Afghanistan.
The medic, a member of the Afghan Army, is wearing the "Red Crescent" indication of his being a medic. But, unlike US medics, he is armed.Actually, he is wearing the emblem of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
So, who is he signaling? I would think his fellow Afghan soldiers. "Hey, I'm your medic!"

Please be forthright, but please consider that this is not a barracks.
