From a British perspective.
Explain this to me. We are in conflict with the taliban (apparently) to remove them to make the entire world a safer place....so therefore when our troops are attacking them (the enemy) they aim to kill them in order to complete our goal.
However, the red cross decide to treat the taliban who we are trying to eliminate to fit in with our goal. Consequently, the taliban have greater depth of an army resulting in more casualties on our side.
It's flawed logic that this "charity" supports them. In theory they are contributing to terrorism and causing the deaths of British troops. The red cross may not want to take sides in this issue but surely they can view that the soldiers that they heal are going to be a threat to other people. What happened to them being pacifists? Hipocrits...
Out of interest what happens if a taliban member is captured? I'm presuming through local law he gets dropped or does the red cross intervene?
