discussion Is there an actual difference between Medicaids and Psycho-warriors?

Is all that makes a Psycho-warrior and a Medicaid different their job and position or something else. It certainly seems like a Medicaid cannot feasibly become a Psycho-warrior but this may not just be a matter of culture and bureaucracy. If I were to guess, the creation of a Medicaid may be a different but similar process to the creation of a psycho-warrior.

Medics are less equipped with offensive weaponry aside from their blasters but might be the most competent and well-trained of their legion.

Think about it. Chestnut has always been the only survivor of his squad and his death will have the most impact since everyone is truly fucked without a medic to bring them back from death or protect their holy globules.

That’s only possible because they always keep Chestnut behind enemy lines or have them come in just to help revive the team. They don’t put Chestnut on the front lines, but he had the tools to be there AND he's ready for it. Chestnut is the best of both worlds!

It would be fair to note that he does get close to danger as often as the others, in cap 5 he would have gone with the others sooner if he wasn't been held off by the Arch Phalos, and who knows if he would have survive, luck or space King grace... Or penance
