PERSPECTIVE

From an Air Force nurse who treated wounded Americans in Iraq.
Palmer said that injured service men and women who had been serving in the more tumultuous northern region were brought to her medical facility for treatment. They told her that the Iraqis who continued to support Hussein and opposed the American presence in their country were in the minority.

“I didn’t talk to a single soldier that didn’t know why we were there and think we should be,” said Palmer. “Good things are being done in that country. We are helping them get back on their feet, and they do appreciate what we are doing.”
