      unnamed soldier: I'm 22 years old, and I must have killed 30 people. The same thing that you were given badges for over in Iraq, you know, would have you considered a serial killer over here, and that's, you know, that's a very weird thought to have running around in your head.

    A Good Attempt To Make People Aware Of Something The US Government And Military Want Nothing To Do With!
    The 2 reviews, "Completely Inaccurate" and "Why is it called a documentary" are perfect examples of just how ignorant people can be; especially Americans who just cannot accept anyone saying anything bad about their country...not all but most Americans anyway!

    This did a very good example of getting straight to the point of the US military's role of discarding their enlisted men, and women, as though they are used rubbish! It is mentioned (and its a fact that has actually been said) that enlisted military people are products, NOT people, who are totally owned by the military hierarchy - aka the top brass upward to the Commander in Chief...the President! It talks to the soldiers only because its what they feel that the makers wanted to get out to the non military people of America etc. There was no place for the health care organizations (that has been done and gotten nowhere for anybody) because this was about personal PTSD of the individual and, how they were being abused, ridiculed and discarded by the same people who begged them to sign up and fight/die for their misguided beliefs in a uncaring country!

    This is a program that should be shown in schools as, it would inform kids that their wanna be a hero attitudes are childish stupidity. It also makes a good way of showing how the best country in the world belief is a load of absolute crap. Its what has caused its own people all the problems they have. All the so called built on honour etc is a complete lie and lies eventually get revealed.

    Its 2022 as I make this review and the sad thing is that, Vietnam is no longer the longest war America has been involved in and the PTSD problems of soldiers of then and now have still not been resolved.

    A Must see and NEED To SEE Documentary!
