While America, the leader of the free world, thumps it's Bible on it's chest and calls other nations backwards and underdeveloped for not advancing technologically and mentally, we are downright hypocritical.
Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Turkey - more than 80% of NATO - have repeatedly confirmed to nonpartisan organizations such as PETA that no animals are used for military medical training exercises. If so many countries, some with a far smaller budget than America, can respect animal rights, then there is no reason for the US to maim and torture animals.
The overwhelming minority of NATO - Canada, Denmark, Norway, the U.S., and the U.K. - still use animals (pigs are the favorite) to train their medical personnel as if this was the eighteenth century. For some gruesome examples, the Canadian military cuts and poisons live pigs with toxic chemicals, the military of Norway uses high-velocity bullets to break pigs' bones, and the military of Denmark, with U.K. participation, subjects live pigs to bullet and blast wounds. The real kicker is our own country; we stab, shoot, dismember, burn, and ill thousands of live animals.
The basis of the American philosophy is that the government simply represents the people's wishes. So, by technicality, the American people are eager to inflict horrific pain that would probably make Obama pee his pants on mere pets, sometimes even man's best friend. Americans do NOT want this. "We the people" have never even voted on a heart wrenching issue that could be easily resolved by the purchase and use of lifelike human simulators. These simulators breathe and bleed; they are extremely effective in preparing military personnel in treating battle wounds.
The American people need to teach their government to adapt to the twenty-first century. Stop being barbarians and show the rest of NATO that you don't believe yourself to be above animal rights.
