NatGeo Combat Rescue Special

I watched it and found it very compelling & heart wrenching, at the same time. One scene in particular. Respect.
 
Just saw the last 20 min, so HH6 and I will watch the first 40 min after the little one goes to bed.

What we saw was really intense, again bringing out how Professional they are.
 
I don't like seeing guys get fucked up. It's a hard show to watch.

I actually broke down watching that scene after they arrived at Kandahar Role 3, listening to the service member asking to be sedated was just too much. You could see it in the faces of the PJs and CRO too, which made it harder for me to watch.
 
Just got done watching the show. Nat Geo made an excellent decision following these guys. They definitely brought a new light to the world of PJ's that I did not know of.

You Para guys do awesome work in country!

I will tell you from this side of the fence also, that's the hardest/worst part of the job. I would never say anything as dramatic as "we feel that pain" the same as the patients (because thats naive), but I think every one of us feels that- I don't know, ache? anger? helplessness?- when we see a fellow Eagle hurt. I think it's actually that feeling that gets guys in to the career field, and what keeps them there. And I want to be clear- the Docs, Nurses, med techs, and medical staff do an outstanding job. It's just tough for a group of "alpha male fixer types" to stand by and do nothing while a friends asks for help. cback0220 mentioned it earlier also, not surprisingly so.
I have had the conversation with a couple friends, and it's always the commonality between some very different people in the career field. Hard to explain.
 
Just caught it. Bloody excellent, it's a hard show to watch but my hats off to Nat Geo for this one. :thumbsup:
 
I laughed pretty hard when I heard that. Good one. The team room/balloon gag was pretty funny too.
Yeah, everybody (but one) saw that comming. The look on his face when he pulled the knife out was classic; then the look on his face when he was soaked.

Hope you guys don't get into trouble for enjoying your "job".
 
Finally got to see it. Is a damn good show, though the last 10 minutes of the first episode was pretty hard to watch. Nothing but absolute respect for those in the PJ community.
