It's called "Real War On Terror - America's Secret Shame" ,but that title is quite misleading. It gives us a chance to see the soldiers, and their families, that fight this war.
This documentary is a bit tough to watch at times. It shows badly wounded troops, and speaks with the families of the dead. It's the reality of war, and it should not be hidden from our view. Looking away won't make it go away.
In speaking with the injured, you see just how good these people really are. They miss their units, their brothers-in-arms, and wish that they could return back to them.
Sometimes, with lost limbs.
And they still think they can give more.
"No matter what you think about the war, never disrespect the warrior"
This is a side of the war is all too often hidden from us, by design.
If this war concerns you, and it should, then I suggest you take a look at it.
Some other parts of the same series :
Real War On Terror - Iraq The Reckoning : again, a warning. In this documentary you will see people blown up and shot dead. This too is the face of war.
It mainly speaks of why this sectarian violence exists today. How both American and British politicians both neglected to address the post-war dynamics of Iraq. Those dynamics were predictable, and the failure to address them then is the reason we see what we see now.
Real War On Terror - Kidnap And Torture American Style
This is on the subject of extraordinary rendition of suspects to countries that torture.
You can find both on the same site.
