Cool and ridiculous at the same time.

I saw this before, and it pissed me off incredibly. More idiot officers wasting money on crap we do not need, and that will not work, and does not really have a place on the battlefield.
Yes, because it's so much better to lie there bleeding out than to have a robot come get you when the medic can't due to the situation!

Bent over the coffee table, Callalron squealed:
I'd rather they spend money on stuff like this than yet another redesign of the Air Force service dress uniform. I don't know why the people pushing for this don't just come out and say "Fuck it! I'm tired of being in the service. I wanna go work for Bill Blass."
Yeah. The problem there is that, unfortunately, the only lasting impression a Chief of Staff can have on his service (this goes for the others, too) is to change the uniform. Everything else has a cycle longer than his term, or can be too easily reversed by a successor.

This is pissing the senior enlisted off. Chiefs in the Navy are proud of their khakis, and with us all going to similar uniforms, they dont get to stand out anymore.

Which is why we train everyone to be a combat lifesaver, who can pretty much do as much as a medic can in a 'lying there bleeding out in the middle of a street' scenario.
But yeah, hoisting a soldier up into the air on a big slow smiley target that cannot do anything at all about said soldier bleeding out has to be a better idea.

Don't be stupid. Better the robot is in the open while everyone else can stay in cover, and I seriously doubt it'll be dangerously slow when finished. It's stupid to send a person into fire to get a buddy when one can send a (presumably) small arms-proof robot instead, and let the people deal with important issues like killing bad guys.
I suppose we should scrap medevac helicopters, too, since it's so much more glorious to double-time with a stretcher?

I can't think of a single situation where the robot would not be a better choice than sending a human. I can think of a couple situations where you wouldn't want to send either (Due to the risk of exposing a wounded soldier to even more fire), but that's all. One more soldier is one more person laying down covering fire to suppress enemy combatants that would otherwise be shooting at the medic AND wounded soldier. And I assume the robot will be well shielded enough to provide at least some cover for the soldier. Khyron fucked around with this message on 06-21-2007 at 03:19 PM.
