Here's the official policy, dated 6 June 2006:
http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/rtf/231008x.rtf
Here's the Medicalcorpse.com translation of the policy's actual
meaning and intent:
http://www.medicalcorpse.com/torturepolicy.html
Note that physicians are lumped together with enlisted medics, PAs,
nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, BSC officers, and sewer
maintenance personnel who watch "Grey's Anatomy" on TV as
"Health Care Professionals"...just in case any active duty
doc had any doubt about the status of physicians vs.
non-physician (nursing corps, etc.) commanders in today's military.
U.S. Military Medicine: It's dead, Jim.

Thus Spake: *G* *O* *D* *S* *C* *R* *E* *A* *T* *O* *R*
*The aim of your life is to be a good U.S. Christian Soldier*
"Good soldiers never tries to distinguish right from wrong"
(They never think; never reason; They only... Obey!)
If they are ordered to fire on their fellow citizens, on their
friends, on their neighbors, on their relatives, they will
obey... Without hesitation!
If they are ordered to fire down a crowded street where the
poor are clamoring for bread, they will obey and watch the gray
hairs of age stained with red blood, or the life tide gushing
from the breasts of women...
*while feeling neither remorse nor sympathy* .
If they are ordered off as a firing squad to execute a hero
or a benefactor, they will shoot them without hesitation, even
though they "know" their bullet will pierce the noblest heart
that ever beat in a human breast or chest.
*Good Christian soldiers are blind, heartless, soulless,
murderous machines*. They are not humans. They are not brutes,
for brutes only kill in self defense.
All that is human in them, all that is divine in them, all
that constituted being human was sworn away when they swore
to their *Religious Conversion* oath.
Their minds, their conscience, aye, their very souls, are
in the keeping of their religions leaders.
"No one can fall lower than Christian soldiers, it is a depth
far, far beneath, where *NO* human... would fall..."
God's Creator!
(Sorry... I don't forgive sh.t!)
