He was a drafted medic, so I guess his perspective, that whole 'first do no harm thing' would cause him to have an introspective view rather than free himself to simply accepting the gubmint's propoganda.

I don't know for sure but I think he came to the same conclusion General MacArthur did upon reflection:

"The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."

- General Douglas MacArthur

August 17, 1957

What is it that a medic needs to have God forgive of him?
