Realistic. Shows high and lows. Shows some of what veterans go through. I cried my way through most of the movie. It is one I will highly recommend.
Not every veteran will have gone through this, some more, some less.
I had one cousin, first cousin once removed who served in Afghanistan. He committed suicide a few years ago.
Of my other family who served in battlefields they all came back. They served in Vietnam, Desert Storm, The War on Terror. The one committed suicide, another died from esophageal cancer. They all have varying degrees of PTSD.
This movie helps to show what, why and how veterans survive. Most don't live lives, most simply survive.
