The medic rope system we use is a 5-knot system. The human body contains 10 pints of blood. each knot represents 2 pints. The medic unties all 5, then RE-ties them, denoting field surgery. Sometimes, (if people remember), a buddy can unit/retie 1 knot representing first aid. Only the medic can perform the 'surgery' needed to actually save a soldier.
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
