We put them back together. The same Medic who treated the police officer who took the gunman down, also treated the shooter. Why don't you chew on that for awhile. I get a little fed up with being accused of being a 'gun-toting killer' by people like you who are so busy spouting off your opinions, you don't even consider the fact that the Military is like any other organization, it's a business. It's not just all shooters. There are business people and medical personnel in it, as well. (I never shot anyone the entire time I was in the Army, but I put a lot of people back together again. Get your facts straight, then we'll talk turkey. Sorry for venting, but I work in a hospital now as a medical typist, and you'd be amazed at how many people do NOT believe we exist! That's because people think everyone who works in a hospital is either a doctor or a nurse, just like they think everyone who works for the Army is a shooter. Baloney. We have business people, cleaning people, cashiers, food service people, etc. who work at the hospital for which I work, and SO DOES THE MILITARY. It's like a small city. Some of the people who go overseas don't go there to kill people, Cpt. They go there to put things back together. They're doctors, nurses, carpenters, etc. They go to try and help. I will give you the 'benefit of the doubt' since you've never been in the military and obviously never been on a military post, but please stop lumping us all into the same basket! It gets old after awhile).
