This Is Where We Take Our Stand - Ep. 4: Broken Soldier

Why are so many veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan psychologically damaged? Is it the natural trauma of war, or the product of military whose mission is to occupy and suppress the civilian population? Zollie Goodman recounts the racism against Iraqis imbued in his unit, while Kris Goldsmith reveals the hatred that finally made him a broken soldier, caught in the endless web of the Veterans Administration. And the parents of Jeffrey Lucey mourn their son, one of thousands who could no longer live with what he had become.

Incredible how long it took to get this out to the general public. No wonder stinking country-clubbing republicans want PBS defunded. This is such a strong antiwar film, it's so amazing.

The charisma of the young vets in it is mind-blowing. Their anger and pain is palpable. This country abused the young people that volunteered because of 911, and they are not happy about it.

Looks like the draft dodging elites Rice, Cheney, and GWBush created some HARDCORE

activism against war. Stay alive guys.

How does this only have a handful of views? This is something every single American who supports the war needs to realize. The war is slaughtering people in the middle east, and killing American soldiers, not just with bullets, but with the psychological bullets of the atrocities they are made to commit in the name of freedom, in a war for resources and control.
