NSFW-Another Kind of Battle

121Traffic's thread made me think of this video, that I got from a marine buddy. I tried to put it on the web before, but it was deleted by youtube and google. Go figure.

This is a picture video of the 86th Combat Support Hospital. It's graphic (and some nudity.) It's was originally 20 minutes long, only 10 made it on here. Makes you think twice...

Today's M*A*S*H* ? It sure appears to be. Thank You all for your service to our country.

Yeah. These are the stats that were originally at the end of the video

The 86th CSH deployed 09 Dec 04. They treated over 5000 battle casualties. Performed over 40,000 x-rays. Conducted over 150,000 lab tests. Administered over 17,000 units of blood. Performed over 9000 surgical procedures. Treated over 16,000 non battle related patients. Air evacuated over 3000 soldiers. They deployed with 486 soldiers. All came home.

Awesome vid. What's the vocal song that's playing throughout the first part?

That is a powerful video

Thanks to the 86th CSH for being there for our wounded warriors. May the burden they carry from the carnage of war they were exposed to be tempered by the knowledge that they saved countless lives and limbs.

It's called homeward bound. Haven't been able to find out who sings it or if there is any copy available.

Okay, I found it. It was composed by Marta Keen. This version was recorded by the BYU Choir. Trying to find a copy of it.

You beat me to it. We sang this in my LDS church choir one Sunday. Very moving song. It'll bring one to tears. It did for me. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir also has a version of it.

121traffic, I hope that I didn't steal your thunder in posting these links below.

If anyone is interested a CD is available through either of these links. I'm pretty sure this is the BYU Choir one.

I should not have watched that

I owe my life to a couple of combat medics and an Air Force Pararescueman, enough said. All those field medical personel have my upmost respect and appreciation.
