Word is going around that some shifts are taking place, which are moving some doctors out of certain areas which are seeing less action, and into posts which are busier. This, of course, makes perfect sense, but is not always how things have worked in the Army (surprise!). It is almost universal among military physicians that we would rather be deployed to an area where we are actually helping real soldiers, than to be deployed in an area in which we are not needed (even if the quality of life there is more comfortable).
In short, when I’m in a plane many months from now, flying back over the Atlantic, towards my beloved home, I’d like to feel that I made a real, measurable (even if small) difference in improving the Iraqi situation.
