Michael's (correct) point should have been in a reply to Joseph's post about the Times of Israel story. The head and subhead of that story is deceptive for leaving out the qualifier "medical." And Joe's subject line repeats that omission. Whether intentional or not I can't say, but he should have read the whole article first. Unless he thinks medical treatment is military support, in which case no medic should ever administer it to the other side in any conflict.
