3. I watched this, and I thought it was very good. It focused on the work of one unit,

the 10th Combat Support Hospital (the CSH's or "Cash's" are units that literally unpack out of a bunch of big crates) who are apparently reservists, mostly out of Montana/Colorado. It is an hour, shows them taking care of a series of patients, including both U.S. military and Iraqi civilians and combatants, as well as some candid conversation and goofing around moments.

It's fairly graphic in what it depicts. I think everyone should see programs like this to be aware that these are the consequences of any war, whether in a just cause or not, and that is why any war should be a last resort.

4. sounds alot like Baghdad ER that aired on HBO

it was hard to watch. So many amputees. I found it profound at the end when one of the doctors said (paraphrase) I hope we are doing the right thing over here, otherwise its just madness.:cry:

5. Re-air times:

Sunday 7 pm, 10 pm and 1 am---times are CST


edit: Towards the end they showed the unit that was attacked when the CBS newswoman was injured...briefly they showed her, I think, least I think it was her, it was a quick, distant camera shot of a blonde woman being brought into the CASH. They put words on the screen saying it was that unit and then showed the troops getting treated.

6. Watching it now....Bush needs to do the perp walk

that's all I can say. This show is extremely upsetting. These poor kids in Iraq, my heart breaks. And we aren't even seeing the Iraqi side of the injuries, the innocent civilians that are maimed, burned and killed in this stupid fucking war!!!

George Walker Bush & Richard Cheney, I hope you spend time in the Hague for this!!!
