If you have a few moments free to watch some really well done documentary reporting, check out this piece from al Jazeera on American helicopter transport medics in Afghanistan. It is very graphic and demonstrates the dedication of the United States medivac personnel. it is very long, but worth the watch.

Al Jazeera documentary

 

That can't be Al Jazeera...they are a bunch of terrorists who would never say anything good about any American. </sarcasm>

I wasn't able to watch it all yet...I will definitely check it out at the house. But it looked really well done from what I did watch.

 

I was overwhelmed but then my beloved stepson flew medivacs for a while (he's now flying fixed wing aircraft). I was especially touched by the fact that 24/7 these guys don't care which side you're on, they just take care of you. Says a lot about Americans. I was also terribly moved by how young they all are. I know its a long video, but it is worth taking the time (when you have it) to watch it.
