sorry, but I don't carry a dvd player around with me, and they wouldn't stay around to watch this long anyway. and, this would not convince a hawk to become a dove -- they'll just classify this guy as a wimp that couldn't take it. we need something better to convince them.

If this cant convince someone, then I argue that NOTHING will. Sure you can.. in the eighties people used to carry around big boom boxes... Be like that. :)

That was the attitude of a majority of commenters on the article:

Seven months in Iraq, six years back home: A soldier's war on two fronts (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2011/war.at.home/part1/index.html)

Sad that he's back in jail facing felony charges, and he has a brain injury which is causing some of his problems.

David Lynch is doing his part to help ease their suffering, and TM is no doubt helping them more than any BS talk therapy, pills, and/or prison could ever hope to.

I'm sorry, but this video isn't going to change people's view on foreign policy. Post-Traumatic stress occurs in all wars, whether just or unjust. This simply shows how bad war is in general, not specifically Iraq. None of the political or strategic reasons people have for going to war are refuted here. We actually need real substance to show people why their reasons are incorrect, not play on emotions.
