This makes me both angry and sad, I feel I would like to give those two doctors a beating they would never forget. They are abominations to the word doctor, they are not doctors, and I hope they would never be allowed to practice medicine outside of the army. At least some soldiers are still human, and have a real reason of why they feel they are in Iraq, Sgt. David Borell at least deserves a good pat on the back for a job well done, it is his type that gives a good name to Americans. More than likely the Sarg will be reprimaned by his superiors instead of getting a pat on the back.

BALAD, Iraq (AP) - On a scorching afternoon, while on duty at an army airfield, Sgt. David Borell was approached by an Iraqi who pleaded for help for his three children, burned when they set fire to a bag containing explosive powder left over from war in Iraq.

Borell immediately called for assistance. But the two army doctors who arrived about an hour later refused to help the children because their injuries were not life-threatening and had not been inflicted by U.S. troops.

Now the two girls and a boy are covered with scabs and the boy cannot use his right leg. And Borell is shattered.
