Baghdad ER on HBO

Anybody catch this tonight before The Sopranos? It was a really well done short film. Basically talks about the American trauma center created out of an Iraqi hospital in Baghdad. It's pretty graphic, as you could imagine, but really interesting to watch. Nice that they left all the politics out of the movie...you just get what people actually said and see what there was to see. Definitely worth checking out if you get a chance...just be warned that there are some graphic injuries on camera.

Watched the whole thing. It was totally uncensored, which is how it should be. Everyone should watch this to get a glimpse into what war really is. Really makes you question how it could all possibly be worth it.

I have always been against this war...Bush's war...but we are there noe and the time for the worth it is after. I think we back the boys all the way for now. All the way. I dont ever believe in comforting the guys who are trying to kill our guys.

I have seen enough about war to know what it is about. It sux. Its the worst.

Do we really have to start this crap again? IT IS POSSIBLE to be anti- war, but behing the troops. I just want them all to come home safe and sound. Seeing them maimed and killed for God knows what, makes me insane. I hope somehow Bush watches that program. But something tells me it wouldn't effect him in the least.

Just finished watching the show. Very graphic and very moving. It puts things in perspective REAL quick. About an hour ago I thought I was having a somewhat bad day. Getting ready for bed right now and the day doesn't seem so bad compared to what these guys are going through.

As long as you don't post on a thread about war that's already started, you should be golden.
