if they put a tourniquet on wrong and get somebody killed because they had to get taught by the book, when the book is wrong, how do you think that soldiers confidence in not only himself but in medics and CLS training going to be.

Unless they put the TQ around their patient's neck, they aren't going to kill someone by "incorrect" placement. The book isn't wrong
YOU ARE

I'm sry but a seasoned medic with deployment experience on not only the line but in the aidstation side of he house as well is going to be just as good if not better than a 18D straight outta the school house.

The only thing that outweighs your arrogance here is your ignorance. As a "seasoned medic" you have the medical knowledge equivalent of a 1st grader when you look at the big picture. You can patch holes in the field and wipe snot and take vitals in the Aid Station.

NOT impressed with you either.
Your attitude, and your SA, both suck balls.
