other than learning to not ride in Iraqi Army vehicles, do you think this will have a positive impact on the military medical system? the number of stories on the medical support in Iraq has already increased-- last night i saw a story that said if you reached the air force's (even though technically everyone is working at those places) CSH in baghdad you have a 97% (or something like that) chance of leaving alive.
one one hand i think it stinks that it takes a celebrity casualty to throw light on what happens over there every day. on the other i think it may be a good thing for the scrutiny to fall on the system-- who knows, maybe in their search for stories they'll come across some neonatologist or pediatric endocrinologist in a battalion aid station and wonder "what the hell?!?"
