"Ground Truth" exposes uncomfortable truths

This film blew me away. I had goose-bumps the entire movie. This is a documentary which exposes what American news sources have not been able to show their public. This film shows innocent Iraqi citizens being slaughtered at the hands of American troops. The problem, according to the soldiers interviewed, is that there is little to differentiate a civilian from an armed enemy.

In addition to the problems in Iraq, the soldiers bring problems home with them. Many veterans are suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). This is a serious psychological disorder that if untreated can permanently alter brain function and structure, which results in severe psychological problems.

This film convinced me that war is not the way to settle an economic need for oil. Innocent lives are being lost and this message needs to get out to the American public. I think this film does an excellent job of expressing some of the most pressing issues with the war in Iraq.
