This weekend I saw the film The Ground Truth, which highlights the effects of the Iraq war on our troops, and the difficulties they face when they return home. The Bushies wave their flags and talk about supporting the troops. But talk is cheap, and this powerful documentary shows us just how cheap their talk really is, as our troops come home to find that it's not so easy get the VA services they desperately need for post-combat adjustment. Everyone should see this film, whether you support the war (and the Bush administration) or not. To make it easy, the film is now available on DVD, and special screenings are being held in cities all across the country. To read more about the film, find a screening near you, or buy the DVD, go to the film's official website: TheGroundTruth.net -----
