1. Good job... and I am not surprised

Medics, we are known for being absolutely fucking nuts to get people out.

Hey Corporal, you deserve the hero treatment, but I know how you feel about abandoning others... damn it never gets old.

For the record Medics are amongst the highest decorated troops, by percentage, in any war... look it up

Oh and Corporal

ATTEN-UT!

:patriot:

Now knowing the type that are medics, she's back on the job.

4. United Kingdom...

Lance Corporal Clarke is a British Army medic. Americans not the only ones fighting (and dying) in Afghanistan.
