While many may not be effected by this type of show, we in the military
arena need to exercise caution where our family members are concerned.

It
has come to my attention that two very graphic films are scheduled to
air on television. The first film is 'Wounded Warriors', scheduled to
air on CNN at 8pm on May 27-28. The second program is 'Baghdad
ER', scheduled to air on HBO on May 21st. Due to the graphic nature of
these programs, there is the chance that a spouse may be negatively
impacted by the graphic nature of the program. Please advise your
families that these programs are extremely graphic in nature and to
view with caution. Thank you.

CNN Presents: Wounded Warriors
CNN
will air Wounded Warriors at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. May 27 28. The
documentary, hosted by CNN Correspondent Alex Quade, follows the
medical care our troops receive in Iraq, Germany, and at medical
facilities in the U.S., including the Wounded Warriors Barracks
HBO presents "Baghdad ER" - presented on May 21, 2006
"You can learn about war by walking through this facility...the horrors of what man can do to man are visualized
right here. But we do our best, our level best, to make sure our people survive and make it back to their homes." -- Col. Casper P. Jones III, Commander, 86th Combat Support Hospital
12-time
Emmyฎ winner Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill were allowed unprecedented
access to the 86th Combat Support Hospital in Iraq. Over a two-month
period, they captured the day-to-day lives of doctors, nurses, medics,
soldiers and chaplains in the Army's premier medical facility. BAGHDAD
ER chronicles those two months, paying tribute to the heroism of U.S.
military and medical personnel while offering an unflinching and at
times graphic look at the realities of war.
BAGHDAD ER
allows viewers to experience the physical and emotional toll of war by
capturing soldiers and care providers in personal moments amidst
intense crises inside the 86th Combat Support Hospital. Located in
Baghdad's Green Zone, the facility was formerly the site of an elite
medical center for Saddam Hussein's supporters. Thanks in part to the
skill and dedication of trauma center teams like the one depicted in
the film, wounded troops in Iraq have a 90 percent chance of survival -
the highest rate of war survivors in U.S. history. The selflessness and
dedication of those caring for wounded Americans and Iraqis stands in
sharp contrast with the chaos of war.
"This
is hard-core, raw, uncut trauma. Day after day, every day," says
Specialist Saidet Lanier, an operating room nurse. "Even if you're
lucky enough not to go home with war wounds on the outside, if you're
not equipped with coping skills, you'll definitely have them on the
inside."
The documentary offers a taste of daily life in the
thick of war, including exclusive frontline rescue footage of the 54th
Medical Company Air Ambulance Team, and dangerous missions of soldiers
patrolling "IED Alley," also known as "Route Irish," the most dangerous
road in the world. IEDs (improvised explosive devices) are homemade
bombs, which are the leading cause of injuries and death in Iraq.
Sometimes graphic in its depiction of combat-related wounds, BAGHDAD ER
is an emotional, devastating and honest account of modern-day war.
BAGHDAD
ER was directed by Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill; produced by Joseph
Feury, Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill; line producer, Roberta Morris
Purdee; edited by Patrick McMahon, A.C.E.; editor, Carrie Goldman;
supervising producer, Sara Bernstein; executive producers, Lee Grant
and Sheila Nevins.
