Soldier Documentary
Linking back to my Memorial Day post, I watched a show on TLC that just began the other night called Operation Homecoming. It’s a series of documentaries about soldiers returning from Iraq or places unknown to their families and loved ones after being gone for a year or more. Most of the stories are told by the families here in the US, what they go through, the challenges, their fears, sadness for those who never come home and relief and joy for those who arrive safe and sound. What I appreciate about this documentary, at least so far, is they do not politicize the stories. Too many times I see the media use these families and soldiers to promote their agendas. Of course mostly to bash the current administration. I could go on and on about that, but I’ll spare you that right now. Yes, I am very opinionated about this subject, but ultimately I would like to just hear the stories of our soldiers without going through the “agenda filter” the media spin-meisters place on them.
