Idea: Convert the US Marine Corps into the US Medical Corps

This idea has discussed at length over the last week or so if you look around online.

In short, most people are not in favor of the idea, because The military is full of many people with specialized military skills, not health care skills. They cannot just turn any given solider into a health care worker. There may be ways they can help, but you cannot just flip a switch and change who they are and what they do.
