COMMENTS: No Return
There was a lone report from Iraq itself--Robert Bazell's In Depth follow-up for NBC on the 28th Combat Support Hospital, nine months after his first visit. The medics were supposed to be returning home now but their tour of duty had been extended for five months "like so many units in Iraq." Bazell remarked that "the sounds and the scene are the same, the choppers, the rush of the medics…the same disciplined professionalism and compassion." However the "unrelenting casualties and time are taking their toll on the staff." Steeped in gore, nursing colonel Sharon Williams wondered: "When I get back home, am I going to think about this every day?"
