There's a lot over coverage in the media right now over how VA hospitals are failing to adequately serve veterans returning from Iraq.
When I Came Home is a documentary about this issue, but I think it inadvertently brings up another issue. It's the story a young man who is promised a better life by a large, faceless institution--the military in this case--and that institution falls short on its promise. But this film inadvertently brings up that most of these troops are not in Iraq for ideas of "love of country," but for a package of benefits promised them in army recruiting offices.
