THE GROUND TRUTH- a moving and powerful documentary from Patricia Foulkrod's. This seven minutes is a glimpse of the filmmaker's subjects who are patriotic young Americans -- ordinary men and women who heeded the call for military service in Iraq -- as they experience recruitment, training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to reintegrate with families. The terrible conflict in Iraq, depicted with ferocious honesty in the film, is a prelude for the even more challenging battles fought by the soldiers returning home -- with personal demons, an uncomprehending public, and an indifferent government. As these battles take shape, each soldier becomes a new kind of hero, bearing witness and giving support to other veterans, and learning to fearlessly wield the most powerful weapon of all - the truth. Watch this unbelieveable 7 minute clip from the film.
Straight talk from veterans and their family members tells what is missing from the sales pitches presented by recruiters and the military's marketing efforts. More info at BeforeYouEnlist.org. DVD copies available at AFSCstore.org.
