The reason that they are not wearing the red cross is that the after action reports are saying that the Taliban are TGTing medics ie the Red Cross does make an excellent Target. Also the wearing of the RC is to identify the wearer as a protected persons, not normally associated as a combatant. But since the current War we are involved in does not actually have OPFOR that is a signatory to the convention its a give and take in this secenario.
