A harrowing film about the stress and horror caused by the war in Iraq. We report from the combat medical hospitals showing the physical and psychological cost of the war. At Baghdad's Combat Support Hospital, the Black Hawks come in thick and fast, ferrying America's war-wounded straight off the battlefield; more than 27,000 of them in four-and-a-bit years. And there’s cold comfort from General David Petraeus - his message to servicemen and women adrift in this war is that achieving US objectives will neither be quick nor easy. Warning: some viewers may find some of the pictures in this report distressing.
