Uhhh..seriously? If you were a medic and had to extract some injured soldiers while taking fire, I don't think overprotected would would even enter your mind.
RPGs Armor piercing .50 cal IEDs there's some stOOpid weapons out there that can seriously ruin someone's day.
LOAC says: all Humanitarian/medical vehicles must be marked with a red cross, crecent, or star of david they can't have any weapons or armed personell onboard. they are non combatants.
All they got is armor and good intentions.
