Baghdad ER

Anybody catch the HBO documentary? What do you think about the cameras in the faces of the dead and dying? If I was a soldier and I saw some camera crew running up on me when I come out of the chopper with a wounded or dead buddy... I'd be pissed.

If one doesn't like the program then one should not watch it.

Most of the time soldiers don't see camera men when they are doing such a task - they are more concerned about their buddy then a camera.

If the camera and the media does not interfer with the treatment and the soldier in question is not troubled by the capturing of his image - who am I to be upset.

The more people who see exactly what war is and what it does to a human being both physically and emotionally - the less glamorous it will be.

That's valid. I wasn't saying I was upset watching the thing. I said I'd be upset if I was a soldier they were filming.
