One interesting note: During the early days after the Invasion of Iraq, Soldiers and Medics and Marines and Corpsmen did not have tourniquets issued as part of their first aid kits. Grunts were bleeding to death before reaching tertiary care. Finally some smart guy ordered them to be issued and the mortality rate dropped immediately.
Just FYI. I was an Army medic in Vietnam. There may have been some, but I never knew a combat medic that carried an issue aid bag. The issue bag had a big red on white cross on it that was many times more hazardous to your health than smoking. We used cravats for our turniquets which also can serve a host of other functions and work as well as any purpose-made tourniquet I've run into.
even Korea andNam casualties were light compared to.
wars since then they are practically non-existent by comparison

Let'see, they called it WORLD WAR 2 because there was killing in almost every corner of the world. The fighting in Korea was just as vicious but the theater of operations was confined to ...Korea and the theater of operations in LBJ's war was confined to South East Asia but mostly VietNam. We can add that life was cheap, leadership was sometimes lacking and the government made sure there was no criticism by the media during WW2. MacArthur abandoned an entire Army to capture and torture and was awarded the MOH. Who would have thought that the intelligence could have been so bad that we lost 6,000 Marines on a stinking island that we could have bypassed four months before the end of the war? Generations of Americans learned about the uncommon valor of the Marines but very little about the slipshod planning, callus attitude of Navy leadership and most of all the sneaky mission change after Marine casualties became evident.

Why do we send young men to die when they have their whole lives ahead of them? We should send 70 year olds to the front lines. And these guys caught in Viet Nam so they don't even have to be trained.The wars since the 2 world wars have been boring.
Wish I had lived those days.

Doesn't make sense 70 year old men send 20 year olds off to die
When the U.S. and its allies attack third-world nations whose forces amount to modestly armed individuals, you can expect light casualties on our side.even Korea andNam casualties were light compared to.
