But can they be sued for malpractice?  Huh?

On paper they're supposed to meet high standards, but when pressed for
medical personnel the Armed Forces will eagerly take the dregs from medical
schools, that is, the dunces who graduate at the bottom of their classes and
are essentially handed diplomas just to be rid of them.  After a string of
malpractice suits and a revoked licence to practice, these "doctors" soon
turn up in one of two places:

1)  Inner cities, "treating" the poor in "free clinics"

2)  The U.S. Armed Forces, where they can maim with impunity.

Yeah, I know, you'll cover for ANYONE in uniform, even if he is a failed
butcher's apprentice who calls himself a "surgeon."  Take it from someone
whose family members have suffered at the hands of these quacks.
