Corpsman Quotes

“An infantryman’s job is to deliver his enemies into the waiting hands of Death. It is Doc’s job to protect his brothers from Death, to knock him aside and say, “Not today.”
― Adam Fenner

“What a job. Waiting to kill or be killed on almost a daily basis. No way you didn’t take that home with you for long-term problems. You just couldn't kill time and time again, especially when you could see their faces and their death rattle and not be affected and screwed up a little, the rest of your life.”
― John Peck, Navy Corpsmen In Vietnam: The Story of Doc John Peck
