You hit on something that I have been thinking about lately. I was at Walter Reed the other day and saw a number of amputees. I saw one guy learning to walk again who was a triple amputee. While this soldier's MOI could have been anything, it got me thinking about tourniquets and their rate of employment on the battlefield. I saw a thread somewhere about new, earier to use tourniquets and that recalled someone's quote about when all you have is a hammer, all problems looks like nails.

So, are Hemorrhagic Control Agents a better alternative to a tourney? Does the level of basic first aid training need to be addressed?
