We often wonder what politicians mean when they ask us to “support the troops.” Does it mean they want us to support this Iraq war, no questions asked? Does it mean we’re supposed to root for U.S.A. to defeat “the enemy?”
What if supporting the troops meant taking the time to listen to their stories? To empathize with them? To struggle with them?
This is the idea behind a powerful new documentary film called The Ground Truth, which chronicles the journeys of Iraq war veterans and their families as they struggle to re-claim their lives. We’re asking you to spread the word.
