2. I was a little disappointed
I felt they could have used more facts and less stories about the effect on the families. The dollar and cents of this issue is what enrages me. The civilan contractors' families will get written off with the usual "they chose to go and could have left when they wanted". If you really want to piss people off, show the executives safe at home who are making the obscene profits on defense contracts.

I recommend "Ground Truth". It starts with the recruiters and ends with the VA, basically what it is like for our soldiers. Very well done, not as much political but tells how we are really screwing over our soldiers.
