Emergency Medical Support Units to Critical Care Transport Teams in Iraq

摘要

The imagery of warfare has never been so easily accessible to the public. The sights and sounds of war can be viewed almost instantaneously on the evening news or seen on the Internet. The shadow of war has been cast upon several generations in the United States, but perhaps never with such immediate processing. Some of my earliest recollections of war were seeing clips of the Vietnam War on the daily evening news. Those news clips showed soldiers in the jungles of a distant land, carrying machine guns and helping their injured buddies. The news brought the grittiness of war into our living rooms. The carnage of war was tempered; however, the average citizen could recognize the destruction of battle.
