USA. Fort Jackson, South Carolina. 2011. A mannequin used in an Army combat lifesaving course. The military constantly improves the
realism of its medical training to ensure more instinctual reactions in combat. The mannequin
pumps fake blood which only stops when enough pressure is applied from a tourniquet. Realistic
training has also changed the act of fighting. In World War II, an estimated 25 percent of soldiers
fired their weapons at the enemy. The remainder felt an insurmountable resistance toward killing.
More vivid and true-to-combat training has now brought the number close to 90 percent.
