Know this; if you carry a gun for a living, you are going to end up patching up either yourself or a friend. That is how the game is played. And someone living or dying might very well come down to having some materials on hand to stop them from bleeding out.

The classic WW2 action epic Fury was based upon the WW1 story of Fray Bentos and her crew.
