It was just someone's house, like where the medical CP was.
And that was just to stabilize individuals to get them back to Erbil so they could put them on a plane and fly them to Baghdad for proper treatment.
And we were doing our best, like with what we had.
And those dudes treated something like 1,200 casualties.
I know, their casualty rate was massive.
Insane.
So those dudes, those medics, are easily the most combat-hardened medics in the ADF has seen probably since, I don't know, fucking Vietnam or something.
And no one talks about them.
There's an article.
Get them on a potty.
Yeah, there's an article called, if you're a medic or a paramedic,
contact army medic in Mosul or something.
It's a really good article and it talks about him.
And he got post-noms for it, like the medic, the kilo.
He got like a DSC or a fucking conspicuous service medal or something for how many casualties he saved.
A well-deserved DSC.
Well-deserved, like well-deserved, whatever it was.
And no one's jealous of that.
And unlike other members in other units, jealousy isn't really a big thing at 2 Commando.
So it was cool that the dude who owned that house came back one day and got through the cordon, was searched and came in.
