According to the army.
I have no problem with any training that would help soldiers learn to save their wounded on the field, but I didn't realize that pigs were so close to humans as to be effective training tools.
Die pig! Die!

close enough that they use pig valves in human heart surgery.

but pig bacon is still better than human bacon.

So, if it's all the same, why don't they just practice by shooting humans?

That would truly give them the best training available.

Chop! Kill the pig!
Pig, pig! Kill, Kill!
Kill, Kill! We'll make 'em bleed.
Here's his blood!
Blood, blood!
Oooh! Blood!
Kill the pig, make him bleed!
Let's get the blood, that's all we need!
Out for blood!
Ooh, we gotta kill the pig, make him bleed!
Let's get the blood, that's all we need!
Out for blood!


Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Interesting idea stagey. The army could sell the blood to vindictive high schoolers.

Being a big fan of pigs, and also quite into the idea of people not dying on the battlefield if they don't have to, I really don't know what side of this argument I fall. It is totally necessary for soldiers to know how to deal with field wounds, and it's ridiculously against all manners of laws and human rights to shoot people for training purposes, and I guess people don't get shot enough for them to just wait until it happens and train there. I don't know. There's no ideal. But I do want to pick on:

The bloody exercise, she said, is difficult for soldiers because they sometimes associate the animals with their own pet dogs.

If they're that bleeding heart that they can't shoot a pig, then they shouldn't have joined the effin' army. If you get shipped out somewhere, bucky, you'll be shooting much more difficult creatures than pigs.
