Zoom in, where the green arrow is, the helicopter pilot landed. Don't know how. There was almost no room. Theres a couple of flagpoles right there in the middle. You can actually see them on the google maps. Dude had like 10 feet of clearance from them.
Then, to top matters off, he wasn't needed. A soldier passed out, he woke up. Ambulance got there, didn't have a doctor. Only available vehicle withe a doctor was the helicopter. A little overkill for someone that stood up too fast.....
You're in the army aren't you (I remember from one of your other posts). Maybe it was an overreaction, but if there's someone's life at risk, you're going to want to have everything you can to save it.
It would have been interesting if the helicopter had crashed and the soldier woke up, but it's good that they're taking the precautions seriously.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
