This is an amazing story. I have to give a lot of praise to the surgeons that are working directly with combat units, as well as the folks that are getting the wounded to the necessary care within a matter of hours and to major medical facilities within days.

If you see the pictures of those wounded that were published, while they are graphic, you might be amazed that they all lived.

This is an incredible account. After reading it I am reminded of my trip to the Manasas (Bull Run), where modern battlefield medicine began. A doctor's bag had as it's main component - a saw. They did set up an ambulance of sorts to get those immediately not killed off the battlefield, but they didn't have Walter Reed in the wings.

I saw this story in my local rag (North Mississippi Daily Journal)this morning. They headlined and edited it to show the story as a negative.
Bias? We don't have no stinking bias here.
