Anyone watching ER?

It's getting pretty intense. Duel story lines between Neela in the ER and Gallant in Iraq.

1. I watch ER every week, but this week I just couldn't do it

I just don't trust corp. American TV to tell me a story having to do with Iraq - especially when I saw the promo that said, an episode that will inspire us all.

2. It has a pretty anti-war flavor

By showing the senseless carnage that is war. I hope they don't get all sappy and crappy at the end. So far it works for me.

3. Whoop, sappy and crappy it is

I thought the "we are doing the same thing" got old after about 5 minutes.

4. Yeah, I loved the line where one character tells another,

"You gotta go with the SecDef you have, not the one you want." Very definitely some antiwar/antiviolence stuff going on.

Interesting comparison: How the woman who was an industrial double amputee was handling her situation. (Of course, she was probably in shock still.) Then they would switch back to the soldier who had the leg injury requiring amputation. Also, clean cut amputation versus shattered bone amputation.
