This is my first review on IMDb and I was so deeply moved. I felt I need to let people know that they shouldn't pass this doc. I would rate it higher if I could. The real life struggle of a military man and his family. It touched my soul in ways no other documentary could. Pls watch. Don't let bad reviews stop you watching

This is amazing story, told with great empathy and sensitivity by the filmmakers. The real tragedy here is the two boys - both beautiful souls who deserved better than how they ended up, a reflection of the society they grew up in. It's so depressing the American obsession and glorification of the military and guns, it's actually embarrassing that a modern country can be so far behind with current times and sensibilities. I do feel there is hope for the people in this story, although I really feel bad for how Isaac finished up, I hope he's doing ok.

What ever you do you need to be tough. Live up to your fathers expectations or be a loser. Loose a kid, just take another one and send him also to war. The boy is in the Army but he does not know why war started or is dragging on, He just wants to go fighting for his country. This is not happiness, this is just sad. US kids are som brainwashed that they cannot think for themselves anymore. That is probably what the US of Amerika wants. Just sad and terribly wrong.

Let me start by saying, that I thought the documentary is very well made. However I'm surprised by the lack of insight and glorification of the army and war. I'm european and I can in no way understand this. Im amazed, that Brian doesn't seem to realise, how much him being away and in danger has affected his kids. They're clearly missing him when he's away and are afraid for his life. And how, after his injury, he takes his frustrations out on his sons and girlfriend, seemingly without zero remorse. And wants his sons to join the army, even though it might not be, what they want. And despite the dangers is intails. Joeys death was absolutel devastating. I hope the family can heal and find happiness in spite of this terrible tradigy. Especially Isaac, who seems quite damaged and has a hard time finding his way.

The person that gave this movie 1/10 stars is either a complete sociopath, or didn't watch the movie at all. If you don't respect or feel gratitude for the men and women that risk their lives to protect us here at home (no matter the reason they "chose" to do so), then you should probably move to another country. Permanently. I'll bet the bravest thing you've ever done is sit behind your computer screen and spew negativity on all that is good in the world. ANYWAYS, I'm sorry, but I saw that review before I watched the movie, and after watching I could not believe someone could be so soulless. Besides the war aspect of this soldier's life, we get a gut-wrenching look into this soldier's home life post-deployment...without giving anything away, just know that I cried my eyes out. I yelled at the screen. I'm still shook. This is a film that every American should see. Period.
