The Ground Truth: After the Killing Ends (2006)

"The Ground Truth stunned filmgoers at the 2006 Sundance and Nantucket Film Festivals. Hailed as "powerful" and "quietly unflinching," Patricia Foulkrod's searing documentary feature includes exclusive footage that will stir audiences. The filmmaker's subjects are patriotic young Americans - ordinary men and women who heeded the call for military service in Iraq - as they experience recruitment and training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to reintegrate with families and communities. 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." -imdb.com

If you think that most Americans support our "foreign policies" and what our government does over sees your just as ignorant as you think we all are.
LOOK INTO THE FACTS AND STOP BEING HATEFUL TOWARD INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!
.
What would you do If it was your government you think you would have a say? Assuming you get through the constant ***-storm bombardment of subtle propaganda lies and have half truths day in day out, what are you going to do... protest? You think that will be effective when its never broadcast on TV. Just stop being so damn hateful.

Quote by pat "The countries who don't enjoy this are the ones who have been invaded by you or have a puppet government put in by you"

Look at what your saying, You say "you" as if we are some kind of single entity, like me and my next door neighbors want nothing more than to invade all the oil rich county's of the world or intentionally stand and do nothing. The fact is most Americans are kept unaware of the worst of what our government is up to. You cant blame them for that. The world is a complicated place yet you speak as if things are as simple as black and white I wish it where but unfortunately it isn't. As for the the American's who do stand up, chances are you haven't heard about them because they are stamped out quickly and swept under the rug. It rarely makes the news so others wont take interest in the Truth. Our government learned just how power and threatening the media was to them during the Vietnam war so naturally they learned to influence it.
Tell me, just what are we mere civilians going do against the most powerful deceptive force on the planet?
You mention "puppet governments" do you think our government is much different? Its the major cooperations that have the final say in our government. Does that sound like a true democracy to you?
.
A message to the rest of the world. Don't hate us for the select fews actions in the world, hate them. We're all just people like you, most of us are probably on the some page.
