That sucks. Nobody should regret performing medical service. It's in the Hippocratic Oath or some shit. It's not his fault that Hitler did the stuff he did.
EDIT: This theme is explored in the episode of House called The Tyrant.

If you save someone and they end up killing people, it's their responsibility. If you kill someone or let them die, it's [b]your[/b] responsibility; you've committed murder. Blood is on your hands.

Henry Tandey was a soldier for the British during WWI. In 1914, he came across a wounded German soldier. Tandey chose not to shootout of respect. The German soldier saw him lower his rifle and nodded his thanks before wandering off.
That soldier? Adolph Motherfucking Hitler. Hitler later saw a newspaper report about Tandey being awarded the VC (in October 1918, whilst serving with the 5th Battalion Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment), recognized him, and kept the clipping. Hitler also wrote the regiment for a large version of a painting depicting the scene in 1937. When he was given it, he wrote 'I beg to acknowledge your friendly gift which has been sent to Berlin through the good offices of Dr. Schwend. The Führer is naturally very interested in things connected with his own war experiences, and he was obviously moved when I showed him the photograph and explained the thought which you had in causing it to be sent to him. He has directed me to send you his best thanks for your friendly gift which is so rich in memories.' Later when asked about the painting, he said "that man came so near to killing me that I thought I should never see Germany again; Providence saved me from such devilishly accurate fire as those English boys were aiming at us."

This will be the first post on page six because of a ghost page that still hasn't be fixed. It would be nice if those were fixed.
Also, if you somehow to manage to hurt yourself just right, you get a "blood blister," a blister that's filled with blood. It shouldn't hurt cutting one open to leak the blood.

Blood blisters are nasty when they form under your toenail, and then your toenail falls off. (talking from experience)

"Isnt that the ending of that new film (spoiler)" so that I know its a film title thats in there.
and not
"Isnt that the ending of (spoiler)"
But then again, I click on every spoiler tag without thinking so it would have happened anyway I guess

In the American Civil War, hard tack rations were often infested with Weevil larvae, and soldiers would eat their hard tack in the night time to avoid seeing what they were eating.
Alternatively, they would dip their hard tack in coffee, and skim off the larvae when they floated to the top of the cup.
Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army, was actually an abolitionist, or someone against slavery. Though Lee's family owned slaves, Lee himself did not own slaves, due to him believing it to be immoral.
He was also the only general to ever come out of Westpoint Military Academy without a single demerit, and is considered to be the greatest general in American history.

During the Civil War, an unnamed Union Soldier collected a large amount of hardtack, either by sneaking them of ration dumps, or taking them off the bodies of dead comrades and foes. During a battle, he kept several in his pockets, when a Confederate soldier fired and hit him in the chest. He left the battle with nothing more then a bruise, as the hardtacks managed to stop the bullet.

That, and the fact that a majority of the leftover hard tack rations in the Mexican-American War were used by soldiers in the Civil War.
Also, I am not sure if this is true, but I have heard that wild boars and escaped pigs would eat dying soldiers in the night during battles in the Civil War.

I don't care if any of the content here blows my mind into bits or not, so long as I learn something weird, I guess.
Speaking of weird, for some reason, a door-to-door salesman was offering a choice between guitar lessons and accordion lessons. A young boy's parents took him up on his offer, and had him teach their son to play the accordion. This boy was Weird Al.
There are substances that are harder than diamond. One of them is lonsdaleite, which is known to occur in meteorites. It is fifty-eight percent harder than diamond.
You can double jump in real life. Jump the air, then place your hand under your foot and jump off your hand.
In a medium, a particle can move faster than the speed of light (in that medium) and when it does it creates a sort of light version of a sonic boom, producing a blue glow.

In almost all cases, you shouldn't feel guilty for something like that. I guess it was somewhat understandable in this case considering his job was specifically to save lives. But if I were given a choice, I would most certainly pull the trigger.
