Okay, I am still learning here, but are you talking about the powder/grainy stuff?? We stopped using that a year ago and have switched to the patch style, sort of like gauze, if you will. I was told a year ago that the grain type that you pour into a wound does more damage than good and was not to be used unless a dire emergency was present (no medevac).

Edited to add we are using the HemCon stuff now....

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
