the yanks see it as "your a rifleman first medic second" we see it as "if your ass gets lit up who will look after the rest of us?"

So your saying canadian medic's aren't real soldiers, an don't go out on patrols, etc. Tell that to the medics who humped all over the mountains in Afghanistan with 3VP during Op Apollo.
