Ground Truth: After the Killing Ends. |
I read something in the news [two years ago] about the lack of body armor available [to soldiers in Iraq]. I knew the American people knew very little about this, [but] I felt that if the American people did know, they would be very alarmed. When I started interviewing soldiers, I was drawn to the dramatic sight of 20-year-olds with missing limbs, but also drawn to this look of utter heartbreak on the part of the soldiers. |
Nobody ever talks about killing. If we are ever to take care of these guys must look at the whole picture. These guys feel personally responsible for killing. |
They come home and we say, 'get over it, you're fine.' I think the way we train these guys is significant. Now we really have to take care of them... |
