They used to offer similar services to civilians in the forms of burn/accident victims and at times even foreign civilians (mainly kids).

I think the budget cuts in the late 80s/early 90s caused them to restrict their activity to something that could even roughly be justified in budget meetings.

Too bad, because they did a lot of good when allowed.

I saw an interview regarding this and the army's position is that the elective surgery does two things - 1) it keeps the surgeons in practice for times when their skills are needed for casualties and 2) it keeps them board certified.

Frankly, if this is the case then I see nothing wrong with the practice.
