Powerful for the reasons below

I am going to speak about things in the UK. I am ex forces and when millions marched across the World to stop Gulf 2, the Governments never listened, and went to war anyway.

We suddenly had a charity spring up called help for hero's which was focused on the armed forces.

In the UK, we never thank the Police, the Fire Service, nor the Ambulance to name but three services for the daily duty where they rush into situations, where they know very little about the situation at hand.

We in the forces, at least know if we are at war, then it is dangerous.

We certainly did not put on a uniform to get any thanks, but if you are going to thank a member of the armed forces, also be kind to the police, the ambulance, the fire service, as they put their lives on the line to.

We are all brothers and sisters when we put on a uniform, no matter if we are military or civilian service.

God bless the fallen.

Pleeeeaaaseeee, do some research on what EMTs do!

This episode is a good one. But what I have to say is that, not only in this episode, but in most of the series, the EMS part is just terribly researched. The medical part is mostly correct, but the firefighters in this show are supposed to be EMTs only. They are trained for basic life support. They are there to transport mildly sick people to the hospital. For more complex things, there's the praramedics from Medic One. And even those do not operate (as in what a surgeon does in the OR) in the street. This is a terribly unrealistic thing which bothers me - being a paramedic - very much. But that's a general thing in the Grey's Anatomy shows, where surgeons perfom operations (as they should) and treat heart attacks (what they should not) and do actually everything.
