Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

The television drama "M*A*S*H" ran to hundreds of episodes and finished off with the most watched finale in American TV history. Now, an "interactive essay" from the Magnum Photo Agency uses images from the series to frame a slideshow of two military medical units operating in Iraq today. Grainy, black-and-white shots of Klinger, Hawkeye, and Radar contrast with color photographs of U.S. soldiers picking through rubble, blue-smocked military doctors bending over examination tables, Iraqi men on their knees, and uniformed men and women looking dead exhausted. Like the show, some sections reveal the unexpected aspects of life outside the military ER: men digging in to a bag of Doritos, smoking a cigar, laughing. But then the music shifts, the image clouds, and we're back in the Humvees, on conflict-torn streets, and in an all-too real war.
