The Ground Truth: The Human Cost of War is our soldiers' perspective of the Iraq War, and how they are being treated upon returning home. It goes beyond the war stories to look underneath our American tradition of going to war and then abandoning the warrior. We see the dreams and realities that often set up soldiers and their families for a lifetime of heartbreak. Yet, billions of tax dollars are spent recruiting, training, and paying soldiers to fight our wars, only to ignore and dismiss these same people, now well trained to serve their country, and to kill. How do we “Support Our Troops” when the killing stops? What is behind our silent indifference to these new warriors, and the 272,000 homeless veterans we walk by every day? This film asks Congress and the American people to bare witness to these soldiers and their families, and to consider the human cost of war, above all else.

The film is currently seeking finishing funds. For more info see www.thegroundtruth.org.

1. IRONY--people who oppose this dirty war treat the returned troops BETTER

Most of the right-wing who wave their flags so high oppose all the programs and funding to help the returning veteran. They ignore them, shove them aside, etc. Then its up to people with hearts to help out, and in come the moderates and the liberals to try to help.

What bitter irony.
