...the images in the slide show attached below were captured by the LA Times. Some are graphic, some are artistic, but all are important. This is the side of the war not shown in the right wing media. Not because it is negative about the war, as a matter of fact it is very positive. It shows the heroes of the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, Iraq doing their daily duties. It is not shown in the media because it is reality. It is inspiring to see these brave people doing what they have to in order to keep soldiers alive.

This is not political. It is about the spirit of this country that even an illegal, poorly planned war will not diminish in some people.
I vow that whenever I am discouraged about the state of our country, our government, and our lack of opposition to the right wing factions destroying our country I will watch this video. If these people can keep working in the face of all their incredible hardships, so can I.
This slide show came to me via my sister who is in the Air Force Reserve medical units which are described in this slide show. She has seen the reality of this war from Balad, Qatar, and Germany Hospitals. Now you can see it too.
It is a fairly big file but worth the wait..
