Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Theatre of war: "More than 320 US troops have died since America invaded Iraq, but hundreds more have been injured in the line of duty, many so seriously that they will be disabled for life....Major Gordon Olsen is an orthopaedic specialist.... 'Before I came over, watching the news I was rah-rah and here we go,' he says. 'Now I am just thinking, this needs to stop and go away. When talking to my wife at home, you know, people just hear about a few casualties a day and it doesn't sound like a big deal. But when you see a 19-year-old kid with his leg barely hanging on, that one alone is a big deal.' "
