There is a big difference between being in combat as a soldier and being there
as a nurse. Many of the problems that returning Vets have stem from feelings
of guilt that come from fighting and having to kill. If they were exposed to
the same situation as healers rather than as fighters then the emotional 
impact would be lessened.
