When one of your mates gets hurt you help them out and that's what the Americans did. Professional, caring and whole-hearted. Crackin'.

[...] If you are a ‘once-were’ nation, like the UK and France, then get with the programme and be thankful that someone is getting out there and filling the vacuum (and fixing the messes) left when you dumped your colonies. If you don’t like the new rules, then YOU rock up with the necessary capabilities and force structures to do the business. Here’s a subjective but interesting item on what a real power can bring to the party Do Americans Care About British Soldiers? [...]

And since the system said this post was too long, here's the rest of it:

The Soldiers Angles Network stands out since the British are not tied into our system and they used their network to keep the wounded soldier's command updated on what was going on in near real time rather then getting the info hours late. To them he was just another wounded soldier that needed an Angle standing by.

So, yes, we care. On many levels.

Yes we care. Our own or an ally, a wounded soldier is a wounded soldier to the Doc's and will get the best care we can get to them. It's … what we do.

These days, with the medical teams and logistics systems we've created, it may seem like we're moving Heaven & Earth but the reality is that … it's just a little added work, a little added juggling, a little added 'we need you folks over here now, plane leaves in 30 minutes, drivers are already waiting outside'. Yes everyone went into Overdrive to do it (and with his wounds, it was very time limited) but we built the training and systems to take this into account so when things like this happen the system didn't seize it just hiccuped a little and then went back to delivering people and supplies where needed.

[...] Zulu is a terrific movie, but its message is especially vital today. Zulu reflects the fighting spirit of the British peoples that still lives on despite all efforts to eradicate and emasculate it. Right now, United Kingdom units are doing some of the toughest fighting in Afghanistan. That includes 2 Rifles, the unit Big Hollywood contributor Michael Yon was embedded with until his reporting of their aggressive warrior esprit apparently offended their fainthearted civilian leaders back in London (This is my view, not necessarily Yon’s – I’ve never met the man and I do not speak for him). He covers Americans too, and if you want to feel some pride in our own warriors, check out Do Americans Care About British Soldiers? [...]

In a previous comment, “Sergeye” states that American doctors, technology and research provide the cutting edge procedures and medicines which other countries benefit from without sharing the costs. Yes and no. It works both ways. We in America also have benefited tremendously from what other countries have done in health care research.

Let me explain what T. R. Reid says about the myth that cost controls stifle innovation. Reid says that myth is just plain false. While groundbreaking research does come from the US, it also comes from other countries with much lower cost structures – like France, where hip and knee replacements were invented, or Canada, where the breakthrough in deep-brain stimulation to treat depression was made. Also, many of the wonder drugs promoted endlessly on American television, including Viagra, came from British, Swiss or Japanese labs.
