Baghdad ER
Baghdad ER is a documentary released by HBO on May 21, 2006. It shows the Iraq War from the perspective of a military hospital in Baghdad. It has some relatively disturbing scenes in it (e.g. amputations), therefore the U.S. Army is officially warning that military personnel watching it could experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[1][2]

gollark: Interesting. Somebody has hybridized the Aidan strain with mine and increased some numbers to flood it to death.
gollark: I plan for the next step to be replicators which know which page *they* are and self-modify.
