injuries

BDK, tv, newspapers, magazines are filled with reports of soldiers maimed, perhaps 40% of the 23,000 inured are crippling for life. The first part of the show had that, a guy who lost his arm to an IED or RPG. Whatever your politics, can you be completely indifferent to such tragedy, or try to compare this some training or accident?

Are you talking about he NBC clip at 6:45 last night? That's what I saw. They were talking about medical evacuations using C-17s.

I am certain that nobody on this board is indifferent to human suffering.

On the right hand side, click on the button that says "play video"

Last nights NBC News clip on C-17 in case you missed it:
