Kinda depends on how you define "civilized" isn't it?  1943 Japan?
1951Chinese? American militia during the Plains Wars?  Roman Legion?
1942-1943 Russian Partisans?  SS?  All nations have had aberrant (by
modern western standards) practices during war.

Medics are (even under the Geneva Conventions (aka rules for wars
without
reality in some circles) IIRC) allowed 'self defense' weapons in modern
conflicts.
