The strip's author is particularly interested in the soldiers that are currently fighting in [[Iraq]], and the strip generated a great deal of controversy when B.D., one of the main characters, lost a leg at [[Fallujah]]. Doonesbury went on to chronicle B.D.'s recovery process, and the strip's portrayal of the challenges faced by wounded veterans earned Trudeau - a strong critic of the politicians who started the war - The [[United States Army]]'s Commander's Award for Public Service.
