Description
The combat medic was one of the unsung heroes of World War II. He lived with the front line infantrymen and was the first to answer a call for help. He gave first aid to his wounded comrades and helped them out of the line of enemy fire. More often than not, he faced the enemy unarmed and was the foundation of the medical system with hundreds of thousands of surgeons, nurses, scientists, and enlisted medics. If a wounded soldier was still alive when the medics got to him , he had an excellent chance of survival. The medics could do whatever was necessary to stabilize the wounded soldier. They could stop the bleeding, lessen the pain, bandage the wound and get him to the aid station.

And the Big White Splash with that Red Cross on his helmet cut exactly Zero Slack for him when it came to enemy fire. He was as much a target as a man with a rifle. Not to mention, when everyone else had found a location with some semblance of protection (even if only line of sight) from enemy fire, he was headed back out into the fire zone because, more often than not, that was where the wounded were. Add to that, many of them were Conscientious Objectors. Three Medics who were Conscientious Objectors won the Congressional Medal of Honor. In the real world, these guys were/are the Super Heros!
