Mortar fire can shake you good, for sure - the constant mortar fire and bigger shelling on top of it, but you get home, get with your girl, or a new one, beer, etc., etc., and almost 100% of the guys forget all about it. What you are seeing here is that 1-3% of the great number of guys in combat who come home crying about everything. Women are exposed to combat horrors at the percentage of .03 women to 100,000 men, yet this and all the other politically correct shows show gals at about 40% !!!
GROW UP! This is so much psycho-babble nonsense. How many men fought in these wars and came home, got their jobs, and worked the rest of their lives - raising families and doing well for both themselves and those around them. NO CRYING BOYS! It's over and you need to realize that. The trouble is that some guys are so God-damned selfish that they will "open up" and "cry" about every problem they have if there is someone to listen to their bullshit. - Mike Glennon, U.S.M.C.2ndMarDiv, 1/8 Beirut !
I lived with my 87 year old uncle who fought in WW2. I constantly had to calm him down. For example if a regular plane would fly over he would get all paranoid and jumpy. Him and a buddy went in together and while they were patrolling sniper fire got his buddy in the head. I asked my uncle what that did to him and he said he relives that moment every night.
When soldiers come home from the wars, they are basically landing on a different planet. They often get culture shock. The brotherhood is gone, the structure is gone, the danger is gone, the sense of contributing to a greater cause is gone. They often find lack of support for the job they did. They transition back into their own interests and get a little lost in there. They become vulnerable to dark forces attacks, which prey like vultures on innocent heroes in weakened states. Love saves them.
@eastariel It changes you living on the cutting edge Iv been out of Contract Security work now since oct 24 2008 yet I still have trouble going into a crowded store cause I cant watch everyone hands. I fought hard for my people to get them working equipment when your protecting 500 gov employees you would think that you would have the best equipment I had 9 security officers and only 3 working radios I miss that life but lost it for bucking the system
@eastariel Really, now? What war did you fight in. What combat missions did you participate in? None? Are you parroting something you read in a pamphlet somewhere? IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED WAR, AND PARTICIPATED IN COMBAT, THEN COME HOME ON YOUR OWN, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMENT ON THE EXPERIENCE. IT IS PURE AND UNSULLIED IGNORANCE - BUT THEN, THAT IS THE NORM THESE DAYS. Read something appealing and then parrot it like a brainless ape.
I have experienced war and ptsd. Everyone has a different experience of it.
I think the best cure for ptsd is for the experts to get together to find a cure and put it to practice. The experts are those who have experienced it. Our government should finance this process. We can call them Military Transition Centers, with paid participation for all military members.
Yes, I'm ignorant. I don't know it all, of course. It's good when we can put our ideas together to find a cure.
This documentary makes a great point. To those who are not enlisted and call us baby killers, murderer's, etc... When a soldier, marine, sailor or airman reads that, you onset and trigger PTSD to kick in faster. That's my understanding that I took from just part one of this documentary, around 6:35 it's brought up. "Everybody hates me because I killed people." That's paranoid part setting in. It doesn't help that some people say 9/11 was inside job. Show respect, grow a brain, the threat is real
@korn4422 I remmber the day that my partner and I stopped 4 teens one of them reached under the seat real fast and I came verry close to killing a 15 year old boy that bothered me for along time. I became a patrollman to protect kids and women. my cousin sgt stephen a carr did kill himself outside the va in virgina my partners son became a quadraplegic from self inflicted gunshot
I watched this documentary recently, and it is one of the most gut-wrenching, heart-breaking explorations of what war can do to people that I have ever seen. Haunting and sickening all at once. It struck me, although not for the first time, how sad it is that every generation, from the time of Homer and before, seems to have placed an impossible burden on the shoulders of its young men (and increasingly, women). May we evolve away from this being necessary.
I have never been in war or served in the armed forces, but have struggled with severe mental health issues. I agree with the guy who says, "in amillion years I never thought...I would lose my mind"
Hopefully all of the soldiers will find peace. I am against this war, not only because its a waste of money, but because it destroys genuine Americans who put their lives on the line and only come back to have it worse than when they left.
I can't imagine what our troops are going through whever they may be doing what their doing. My prayers go out to them and their families, godwilling protection over their saftey and god forbid they go through this.
@nikonxxx I am a canadian citicen and i truly thank you and respect what you have done for thr people of canada and hope that you come home to canada happly and proud.
I sincerely appreciate you putting this up.May peace come to all th soldiers returning from war who continue to fight the battles raging in thier hearts and minds.

At 11:24 the mother is playing a song on her radio. Does anyone know where that song is from. Breaks my heart every time I hear it?

Thank you for uploading this. I will watch it tonight with my family.
For every one that has been or is going to battle, have courage and remember kindness when you come back and when you are serving.
War affects everyone in some way, but it affects most in a terrible manner.
