“This brave film delivers excruciating insight into the intense preparation soldiers receive going into war and the devastating neglect they experience when it’s over. It also makes a crystal-clear case for what could and should be done to mitigate the mental health issues that often result from serving this country—and the ensuing collateral damage to family and society.” — Educator & Social Justice Advocate, GI Film Festival (San Diego)
