I agree.

Zoomer please Pin that link to the NAEMT TC3-AC. It’s a start for many people, and I will refer to it in the future. Outside of the politics of how we may feel, I truly believe saving lives is just as important as any other feeling we may have. Nobody needs to die for our future, and we should do all we can to save lives. No matter the situation.

Whether we disagree or not, our fellow man is not the enemy. We all strive for the same goals, but our ideology may differ. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of property as Locke intended. Happiness derives itself from these. And ALL men and women deserve these three principles. Through the faults of our founding fathers we find wisdom, and through their wisdom we find liberty. For every man and woman, we will strive for that. That is the foundation which we find ourselves upon. Equality, even with the “enemy”. For we are men.

I will save any and all that I am able to.

Regardless if they are the enemy.

If they are gravely wounded, I shall not let them continue to die.

I will do what I can.

And that’s a medic^

To both those btw

A life is a life.

Life is sacred. Whether you believe in a higher power or not, we were all created equal.

Exactly. We all have equal worth.

I may say god created men to be free, but men are created to be free in the final message I wish to be understood.

I will help, as with many medical personnel, any and everyone that comes across.

😳 oh boy

Hm?

At 17 you can undertake emt-b. Yes, to the medical community it’s a joke, but fuck it it’s better than nothing. Three years fly by bud. Love of life. That’s the foundation of medicine.

By all means.

I promise you not everyone out there is striving for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I’m aware of that.

That’s the issue. It’s not the pursuit of happiness. No man has a right to be happy.

Jefferson changed the lockean principle of the pursuit of property to pursuit of happiness due to the uneasy times of his life. The three fifths compromise existed to do exactly that, compromise. As they had to deal with southern slave states that refused to reject slavery, they changed property to happiness, as to not enforce an idea they fundamentally disagreed with.

But we live in a modern age, where men are no longer property, so why continue to bastardize the ideas that our founding fathers intended that weren’t unfortunately biased by the sins of their time? Also, we might want to move this convo to another chat if you wanna have it. I’m enjoying it.

I was referring to the concept that you have a moral obligation to treat enemy combatants

Combatants is the key there. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, as many day. Politics aside, we are all combatants in the end. I remember in training, we were shown a video of a man, believe an admiral I can’t recall for sure, discussing the awe he had of a corpsman, who carried an enemy combatant on his back to receive complete medical care, because he understood the sanctity of life.

I tried to google that video for y’all but I can’t remember it’s name. It’s a great video, that inspires men to do not what is easy, but what is just.

Ive come across some right scumbags in my line of work. Still had to treat them and try to keep them alive.

Just part of it

I'm planning on growing some...medicinal plants...so if shtf y'all know who to hit up lol.

Hahaha, I've never used medicine, but I'm some could use the doctor's services

Parting words to my cav unit. The most salient piece of medical advice I could give.

That’s amazing man.

Yeah, did the whole weekend warrior thing as a 68w for 6 years.

Thanks for being around to help us.

No problem. How are you set on tourniquets? 😉

one 😦

I liked the Grafkette, it also doubled as a constricting band for giving IVs. Always had one on my belt loop.

I’m just gonna stick with CATs
