-A Whisky protecting her patients from attacking Continentals while tending to their patients.
## Tactical Analysis

* **Hello, I'm the nurse!:** Trained in first aid and battlefield medicine, the Whisky is a frontline medic able to keep the Unionists fighting long after they should've rightfully died. And can turn any garrison or transports into a field hospital where she can better heal her fellow Unionists.

* **You won't take them...:** Whiskeys also have a surprise for anyone who thinks they're a harmless medic: a twelve-gauge break-action, 180 SMG, or deer gun, depending on the commander's specialisation, that gives the enemy a nasty surprise. And they will liberally use them when garrisoned, ensuring their patient's safety.

* **Don't leave me...:** Whiskys are still medics, and their single weapon takes time to reload. Though capable of holding out for a few minutes, they rely on their fellow Unionists to protect them.

* **They'll *NEVER* you hurt again...!:** The best of the Whiskys have managed to secure surplus Grummond-8 shotgun/M3 SMG/Welrod pistol. Though forced to still choose between healing and hurting, the larger magazine of their new gun means it's a choice on what to focus on. Alongside their new guns are also more advance medical equipment given from the Allies which allows the Whisky to bring those who are seemingly killed back to life, so long as the death was only a few seconds.

## Background

The Unionists have taken fire from the Continentals, constantly getting accused of being reactionary in their social ideas. The accusations claim that the Unionists want to drag America back to the 1950s, back to when society held such outdated ideas as women should only be housewives, raising children and being perfectly subservient to the men in their lives. Cell 66 loathes the Unionists in particular, distributing anti-Unionist propaganda showing suburban housewives in gingham chained to stoves and vacuums.

The Unionists counter that women aren't any less than the men in their aegis. Women work the factories in Trenton and Pittsburgh, and serve with pride in the local civil defense units. It isn't the fault of the Unionists that Cell 66 and other hippies believe that because a woman chooses to act a certain way she's being controlled by men. A common career among women in the CDF is nursing, often a family tradition from mother to daughter over the years. During WWII and WWIII, many of these women joined the US military's medical services. A dangerous job given the brutality of Stalin's forces during the war. Many nurses were lost trying to save their charges from death.

As the Unionists formed, they put out the call for medically trained individuals to help train their forces in first aid and field care. Instead, the number of nurses that signed on led to a new plan. Instead of training their forces and hoping that some of their men survive, they convinced these hundreds of nurses to sign on instead. Since then, these valiant women have taken to the same training routines as the rest of the Unionists on the weekend. They also seem astoundingly devoted to their charges, more so than most doctors would expect. One moment, a "Whisky" is smiling and explaining the best way to apply a tourniquet. The next, said-Whisky is waving a shotgun around screaming that no one will hurt their patients. The CDF attribute this to the sheer passion these brave women have for their work.
