Priest Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Here is one for ya... This is very similiar to someone calling a field medic a doctor. I mean they do practice a level of medicine and the soldiers did call them "doc" right? Does that make them doctors? Probably not. Just like calling someone a sniper does not mean that they are. They may be sniping, just like a field medic practices medicine but is not a doctor, the same goes for being a sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
