"this guy was in the military"

I agree with your comment. Well said. But there is this detail from the article: "an active-duty health service officer." Some 5% or less of military personnel are in real combat specialties (that is, combat soldiers), the few weeks of basic training for many notwithstanding (initial training for a few being much more difficult and combat-oriented than for most).
