The Truth About Being a Veteran

Fellow Takeparter Nicole wrote a very troubling post about the fact that 121 Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans have been charged with murder since their return from the war. I immediately was reminded of a great documentary I saw as part of the Screening Liberally series here in New York City called The Ground Truth (trailer below). It does a great job of examining what it is like to return from war and the difficulties of dealing with family and friends, along with the lack of support from the government. For more on some of folks working to provide support for our troops when they return and learn about the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
