  • my corpsman carried a 240 on most patrols.....and all the people on the medevac birds have pistols... the medics that jump off the bird to help load the casuality had m4s

  • @AccessDenied55 I can't speak for 68W in army, but Corpsman from the navy attached to marine units only carry a sidearm. But are rifle trained

  • @AccessDenied55 weapons 

  • Do Medics roll in with Weapons or do they just come it with Medical stuff?

  • gotta love our texan troops

  • How many life lost? how many life save (safe)? lets all warriors know that they will no long-term psychological trauma; and not alone in dealing with a psychological wound or traumatic brain injury (no matter is Army/ Air force/ Marine crops .....)!

    I always remember my husband he said: "There's nothing classified or secret about we do. At the end of the day, it's just all about saving lives!", I am proud of him, he is my hero in my life forever!

    God Bless Our military and their families!!

  • "Doc, Come ON Man!!!"

  • That's not true about the 9 Line -- no one who calls out the 9 Line tells the MEDEVAC where to take the casualty.

  • Your report is much like life at the fire station between calls. Who cares about living quarters, damn it report on the lifesaving quarters. What a disgrace to journalism.  You had the opportunity to report a great story and you blew it!

  • Aaron, why didn't you dig deep and report on the bravery, courage, integrity and decency of the best and brightest of Americans. You liberal reporters did this to the kids in Vietnam, my generation rather than doing your job and reporting the truth.
