My point was that, if your career path into fighting was as a member of a military force trained in a rich country, you might be taught how to deal with exotic things like chemical warfare or magic. If you started out by picking up a weapon and surviving, you wouldn't have that.

Also, how does either the well trained grunt or the thug with a weapon know that some wizard hasn't researched and created a Summon Doppelganger spell? If I were a GM, I might throw one of those in, just so that the PC doesn't know whether or not that's what happened.
