#1 I wonder how maby out there know that the "cross" in the Red Cross represents crossed bandages, not the Christian symbol.

#3 the "cross" in the Red Cross represents crossed bandages, not the Christian symbol.

When I cross bandages, they make an X not a +. They're less likely to bunch up that way, or so my mother learnt in her hospital training.

#4 Nope, the Red Cross emblem is the Swiss flag inverted.

It originated when a Swiss citizen was horrified by the poor care received by the wounded during Italy's liberation war (French-Italians against Austrians) so he formledan organization and tried to get to the battlefields wearing the Swiss flgs but the warring countries and possibly the Swiss government, objected about hgaving people carrying a national emblem in a warring zone. Thus the organization inverted the colors and changed name.

#5 Wrong: the Red cross on the white field is the "negative" of the swiss flag. Typical attempt to leech moral authority and an un-earned reputation for neutrality that the International red thingy showed they never had.

#8 He said this was mostly due to American backing, singling out Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., for their support
