I listened to Chris speak with another soldier of the effects of PTSD. I have had PTSD ever since I can remember. For me, it is about faith. I do not mean religion. Faith knowing that no matter who you see anywhere, someone loves that person. They have someone they love. We must educate the community. We belong to our children.
Thank you for sharing. You are not alone. I read you and I feel you. I love you. You don't need to know me. I share the same being as you. Little words, that don't comfort but if I could I would hug you.
I just watch him interviewing MARIANNE. Excellent!!!! She knows what she’s saying! He is not interrupting her, he let’s her explain what she means!!!!!! I’m very impressed by both of them!!!!!
Chris hedges your agility to clarify the confusion, the deliberate confusion the so-called ruling class' create, is an extremely important skill you hav & are using to help us work out our lives & how our lives hav become a train wreck! Thankyou Chris!
The Vietnam veteran’s poem hit a nerve. I yearn for help for my friend A., a vet. Although I am not a veteran, this be been through a lot of trauma and can relate to daily suicidal ideation, nightmares, chronic depression and isolation. I pray for some kind of healing
It must be emotionally damaging to have soldiers go to these wars, expect such horrible things, and then to not really have a good explanation for why. The realization that the guys selling the weapons are always the winners...When history reviews this period, how will they be seen? Loyalists ? Or tools to that profit machine. I can imagine that these topics are sensitive and important to deal with. I blame government ,instead of those serving
Yet another useful and incisive film that will be seen by only a handful of the already-convinced. If the makers want its message to be heard, make it freely available here on TH-cam. Otherwise, like all the other 'important documentaries', it will be ignored and forgotten within a week or two. It's up to you, film-makers.
Excellent interviews, and I wish these people, plus other soldiers as well as sailors (US Navy) who are actively serving well, except for the insanely murderous, rapist, ... kind. It is very sad, how badly they can suffer after service in US-fabricated wars, so the rest of the society should well respect and assist these people, how ever way or ways we can. With that said, this film, "This is Not a War Story" is a war story. After all, it is about US military veterans after returning home with sad and/or tragic conditions caused by having served in US-fabricated/fomented wars. Damn govt; led by heartless, psychopathic, ... politicians, likely most of whom have never served in war.
First mistakes that clearly prove the directors and writers are misappropriating and mishandling information is right at the beginning: an obvious outwardly aggressive and misplaced song that continually throws the 'F*cking' word before the word hero. There is absolutely no good or justifiable reason to use coarse cuss words, especially in this manner, which only proves the thought patterns of those making the song. Second, the song again tries to mock true Christianity by coupling it with the duality and wrong interpretation of "democracy". I would both walk out of, and fully reject the movie, and anything else connected to it at this stage, right at the beginning. Trust me, many of us, including President Donald J Trump, fully denounced and rejected the Iraq/Afghanistan war under rino Bush. Finally, you do still need a military, but a military that is devoid of all woke, socialist/communist/marxist teaching and ideology. Unfortunately, when you get indoctrination into the public school system and various government agencies, and there are little checks and balances, you have the results you see under stolen elections, connected to the Bidens, Clintons and Obamas. Jesus Christ, and true Christianity never authorized or pushed for the lies and evil of those in high places and totalitarian immoral dictatorships. I know many vets. Many. Some get all that I am saying. And the few who don't seem to fall into the same misguided and misled traps many of you sadly and heartbreakingly fall into. Please seek God's peace, love, hope and healing restoration. None of the enemies in our world want you to be truly free in the right way I am speaking of, and that's the point. Pass on your film. Think about what I said. All my love to you.
Aka a, I heard some curse words, and then crowbarred in my entire worldview into a comment about a video. I clearly didn’t actually watch or listen to properly. Because I find it more important to preach than to listen.
My god,that veteran's song at the beginning... So powerful and soaring with the intent of pure irony. I just want to listen to it over and over

Once again, thank you. These stories will forever remain important (Viet Vet ''67-'68)

Bravo Chris Hedges!!
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you Chris Hedges for this 🙏 ❤
William Tecumseh Sherman from the American Civil War was right along that "war is hell!"
"I won't be a man pretending he was born to kill" that's intense.
War has nothing but victims. We should always keep that in mind, whenever our political class wants to tell us the opposite.
General Smedley Butler's last words for his short novel War Is A Racket was "TO (HADES) WITH WAR"
Thank you

The late great Edwin Starr was right that "war is for the undertaker"

Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:8 that "blessed for the peacemakers, they are indeed children of God"
The exact words from Lord Jesus himself to the Roman soldiers during His crucifixion, "please forgive them that they did not know what they're doing"
The Most High strongly frowns on unjustified wars

Remember the vocalized version of the M*A*S*H theme song named "Suicide Is Painless"
"There's a time for war, a time for peace. A time to love , a time to hate." Ecclesiastes 3:8
I hope it's guilt having been a gross bully for bankers
Those Saudis won't be flying airliners into New York again...

funny how people can accept death and destruction yet be offended by swearing.

that intro song reminded me of those old sea shanties.
