The Ugly of War: Dying children in a helicopter
A US medical evacuation (Medevac) crew chief recounts the most traumatic mission he has ever flown

"She was one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen before... She might have been seven or eight years old... I took my daughter, I'm sorry, my girl..."

"We had to make the decision to put them on the frickin' ground..."

"Who says we need to make that decision? But we had to... I've never had so much blood in my helicopter before."

"I was very angry. I was very angry with the U.S., I was very angry with the insurgents, I was very angry with the locals, I was just very angry toward the world..."

"I will pay for it later on in my life..."

1. just can't watch it, but I read the text (thanks). how horrible these "wars" are. They destroy

so much life, and what life they don't destroy, the rob innocence from tens of thousands of others.

[we can do it]

2. I Want To Hug This Guy, My Dad Was On Med-Evac Crew In Korea

and I am a retired fire-fighter paramedic, so I have a tiny idea of what they are talking about. We need to stop the hate and killing NOW.
