The U.S. Navy is taking advantage of Chicago's sky-high murder rate by sending new medics to treat gunshot victims at Stroger hospital on the city's West Side as part of a pilot program which is currently in its third year.
In 2017, 3,561 people were shot in Chicago; one every 2 hours and 27 minutes, while there were 679 total homicides - down from 2016's total of 808. Of the 679 homicides last year, 92.4% were from gunshots.
In fact, one-third of the 2016 spike in U.S. homicides came from just five Chicago neighborhoods (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-27/one-third-2016-spike-us-homicides-came-just-5-chicago-neighborhoods).
The steady flow of shooting victims (which social justice warriors seem to have overlooked for some reason (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Chicago)) has proven extremely useful in training combat medics for the battlefield.

“The experience here can’t be replicated elsewhere, unless you have a major land invasion,” said Dr. Faran Bokhari, chair of Stroger's trauma & burn surgery unit.
