Birds Of Mercy Again
I'm very surprised that no one click on the story of the U.S. Army's 50th Medical Company mission in Iraq. I considered that the best story among the rest posted yesterday. In fact it was one of the best this month.

Being part of a medevac crew is not an easy job. The crew have to on constant alert and sometimes they land to pick up wounded during a fire fight. The helicopter is not armed due to the Geneva convention and one third of medevac missions do not have fire support from Apache gunships.

Most of the time, the cabin of the helicopter will be stained with blood and the smell fills the interior. These men and women risked their lives to save other lives.
