I caught a bit on the news yesterday about medical conditions in Iraq, a glowing report to the effect that our boys & girls have all the most modern surgical teams on hand, & have available to them "quick response medical teams virtually identical to what they would get here in the States." which is great, but at the same time...

this is coming from someone tucked safely away in the Heartland, who just knows what he reads in the papers, but with all the talk of heroism, bravery & dedication at the front, why is there little or no mention of Red Cross workers, Doctors without Borders, or the staffs of Iraq hospitals?(or perhaps, ESPECIALLY the staffs at Iraq hospitals...)

(I'm afraid that the answer is probably that "it's kind of a bring-down--& most of what they do can't be shown on American T.V. anyway...")
