       own tent in an area they thought was cleared. There really
       doesn't seem to be any safe place for anyone, and we are all
       watching where we walk a little more closely as a result of this.

             More children arrive with the usual cluster bomb injuries.
       It seems as though the children are always in a group when one of
       their number finds one of these things, and the results are always
       horrible. We are increasing the number of pediatric supplies that
       we are ordering from the MEDSOM, despite their initial arguments
       that we weren't "authorized" to have these items.


             BG McFarland visits again today, and all chin straps are
       personally checked by the first sergeant prior to his arrival. No
       new information or decisions come from his visit.

              Another typical day here at the 807th MASH, as more Iraqi
       children show up, torn into pieces after playing with yet another
       cluster bomb.   our pediatric supplies are being put to good use
       though we all  fervently wish they would lie in a drawer unused.
