MILITARY MEDICINE
A selection of military manuals on emergency medicine and related
topics, from war psychiatry to emergency childbirth, can now be
found on the FAS web site.
Most of this material replicates standard first aid literature, but
it has also has some features that are unique to the military or
otherwise distinctive.
"Army Field Manual 8-50 ('Bandaging and Splinting') is almost 50
years old, but it is the most comprehensive reference on applying
bandages and splints that I know of," said Paul Schumacher, who
shared his copy of the document.
"Only a 4000 year old Egyptian mummy maker could have written a
better manual on this subject," he said.

From an interview with Special Forces Officer Turned Leninist, Stan Goff
Stan Goff is a former US Special Forces Master Sergeant with three decades of military experience, now heavily involved in red fascism.
'...Turning personal for a moment: you’ve been very active in the anti-war movement as a member of Military Families Speak Out, you spent about 30 years in the Special Forces before you became a socialist ( sic), and you have a son who served in the military Iraq. The question sort of presents itself: how did the son of a Master Sergeant-turned-Marxist end up joining the military?
My son grew up on a military installation. That was a good life, from his standpoint. Military installations are socialist societies. Everything on them is held in common, and almost every facility and support activity is available universally to all members of the armed forces. Good schools, health care, housing allowance or free housing, recreation facilities, and for inter-racial kids like my son, a whole population of kids like him. Inter-racial marriage is far more common in the Army than in US society generally. He saw me get a check twice a month, and I never had to worry about being fired.
His own child had just been born, and he was working at McDonalds. So he went to what he knew. Fort Bragg is where my kids have their most enduring sense of place. And Fort Bragg is a nice place. It is well kept, and it is not cluttered up with commercial billboards. There are all sorts of things to do – fishing, swimming, craft shops, gyms, theaters, libraries, walking trails, and so on...'
