Reader Response: War Stories

Email received from Christy...

I hate Generation Kill.

Byron has been on it from the beginning, and I watched the 1st two with him, and I decided I didn’t have to tolerate the hatred and mean words used by the soldiers, nor did I have to blow it off as ‘entertainment’.

Oh yeah, and I was married to, and lived amongst men just like that for 6 years… no thank you. Agreed, people will always feast on war depictions as entertainment and that simply is what it is. However, I don’t.

Next; Bagdad Hospital. Possibly the single most important documentary I have ever seen. There is no bravery compared to what the EMT’s and doctors working Iraq are doing. To be murdered for treating both Sunnis and Shiites, wow. Our doctors refuse patients due to religious moral conflict and get away with it. Those doctors serve everyone because they are doctors. Our country could learn from them.
