    Tactical combat casualty care ( TCCC )

    Yes, but they don't have the experience that is required. Experience is the best teacher. Or an experienced teacher is best. The instructor are all 18D, SEAL Corpsman, or SWAT tasked medics. Nothing beats BTDTs for realistic training. This is not a First Aid course that can be taught in the...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    From what I understand. The Canadian Police Association is not in favour of the presently Firearms Act. They do not beleive in the Registry. Real cops assume a weapon is present until the area is secured and searched (legally, of course). This represent the majority of the rank of file of...

    Responses to CARE In Afghanistan Editorial

    general commentaries from a Marine just back from Iraq

    This runs counter to all ballistics test and anecdotal evidence from the US Army Medical Corp. 7.62X39 will not penetrate Level III armour reliably. Its wounds ballistics are minimal compared to 5.56 NATO. Additionally, a wounded soldier/marine can be evac'd, treated and air-evac'd to a...
