There is the notion that certain Army MOS's get more opportunity to bleed more than others, but when the SHTF,, we are all the same..
Doc you are the Special Force that saves our bacon,, and we are very happy for that..
If you really feel a need to set down your scalpel and pick up the gun to get close to the ACTION,, we need to have a long talk, because you would be wasting time and we would be losing a chopper..

I don't need to be kicking down doors and I have enough NFA weapons at home but would like to get to other COB/FOBs that may need me. I dont like being stuck on one FOB for long time and I don't like it when people tell me I'm "too valuable." All I do here is work out 6 or 7 days a week and surf the www. I could see myself helping set up aid stations or hospitals as well as being at a FST - moving around from time to time. If SF or CA doesn't have a place for me that's ok too. I'm still going active next year.
BTW another soldier saved today. I'm one of 2 trauma surgeons attached to the 909th and if you ever get to request an FST to work with the 909th is highly recommended. They are great people to work with and very good at what they do.
I value all you opinions and hold US soldiers (SF or not) in the highest regard. Thanks for all your replies.
