This work offers a critical assessment of the practice of military medical ethics during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It consolidates the medical, military, philosophical, legal, and scientific data from the last twenty years of fighting by multinational forces in the Middle East and presents a comprehensive theory of military medical ethics for present and future conflicts that incorporates military necessity, interests of state, the demands of just war, and important distinctions among military and civilian actors.
