Simplistic reportage by a simple-minded reporter who will never understand what the people she interviews are telling her. It's a technically well-crafted motion picture, but lacks a realistic story. This society lady can go to war zones as many times as she wants and talk to all the soldiers she wants and she will still never understand what they are going through -- before, during or after. I'm sure she had good intentions, but this overly dramatic, heart-on-the-sleeve retelling of the story has only the impressions of a lady reporter garnered from a distance, not the complex impressions of soldiers or their families. This lady should stick to writing something she actually knows about first hand, not just something she finds fascinating. And yes, I'm a veteran.
