I was a Medic in the late 50s early 60s and spent about 8 months at Walter Reed riding shotgun on an ambulance {among other jobs}, but we would pickup and treat GIs that were in bar fights, car wrecks, training accidents at near by military bases etc.

We were exposed to some murder and mayhem, but there was nothing like today's slaughter that exists in major cities today.

It is a terrible testament to our society when we send our young Medics and Corpsmen to Chicago hospitals to get real life combat training for life threatening wounds.

We got some of that at BAMC during 91B school in the early 90’s. The cadre would send us over to BAMC, when the Mexican gang bangers would go to war in San Antonio.
