One final comment, though I'm on much shakier ground here as I'm no doctor! Would they really have cut the arm off right there on the battlefield, especially with their enemies closing in (see I'm with Carmela here!). Having decided the arm had to come off I suspect they'd have applied the tourniquet and then got going. Knowing the arm would have to come off anyway any concerns about having the tourniquet on for too long would be largely irrelevant

IND either, but I do think Gangrene sets in FAST and then you die, amputation or no. (At least that's what they say in all the John Wayne movies) Also, a crushed arm would hurt a lot more moving than a recently amputated one
