You can't compress it with a torniquet there. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ian Wendt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 7th 2007 7:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Blackhawk Warrior Wear combat uniforms feature integrated tourniquets]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/blackhawk-warrior-wear-combat-uniforms-feature-integrated-tourni/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/blackhawk-warrior-wear-combat-uniforms-feature-integrated-tourni/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm sure this idea will save lives, but how good is it for moral?
