Veterans of Our Wars: Part One

14-year-olds are recruited into the Army through the JROTC with the hopes of college money and a career. But when our soldiers come back from war, they face a backlogged Veterans Affairs Department, and can't get the health care and other help they need. This documentary take a look at the U.S. War Machine through the eyes of Veterans and JROTC Cadets. It also looks at how veterans of past wars are forced to compete for services with veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Some footage is courtesy of Iraq Veterans Against the War, at IVAW.org.
