In Iraq, soldiers and civilians receive some of the worst bodily harm imaginable, while the environment has also enervated.
Explosives result in the screeching of human beings as they are mutilated and killed.

The pilot and crew do not see what has happened to the people below.
The tragic lives of the injured, both physical and mental, sometimes are never cured. Those who survive or healed are ordered back to Iraq.
