When the war ends, the real battle begins. The premiere documentary from VRC Films, From War to Wisdom is an unflinching look into the lives of veterans both on and off the battlefield. It takes the viewer on a beautiful and terrible journey, from war to wisdom.
This is not an anti-war or pro-war film, it is a pro-soldier film, It distills the experiences of combat veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - from the violence of engagement to the challenges faced when coming home - into a mosaic of horror and hope, of tragedy and triumph. You'll ride with them into combat, you'll witness their return to a civilian world that no longer makes sense, and you'll see how they not only survive a war but try to change the world for the better.

a lot of people want to become soldiers, until that PTSD starts kicking in is when they want out. The hardest war isnt the physical one but the mentally one once you are home.

Very emotionally brilliant, you are superstars in the most aspiring and inspirational way. Mere words cannot express how you made me feel. Stay safe and keep going forward. We all owe you so much.

All I've learned is that you learn how to live out of a backpack, basically being a professional homeless person. I think that's why so many vets feel comfortable becoming homeless. They've done it out in the field for 4 years at a time

Taken from the Paul Hardcastle song NINETEEN... According to a Veteran's Administration study Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered From what psychiatrists call Post-traumatic stress disorder Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt Some succumb to suicidal thoughts Eight to ten years after coming home Almost eight-hundred-thousand men Are still fighting the Vietnam War

About the homeless part that was talked about, it was said one doesn’t become homeless because they have great workskills, I beg to differ I’ve met a lot of vets that had or have awesome work ethic or work skill and are homeless, what we don’t want to address is that these guys are choosing to be homeless because it’s easier to just exist and not do anything else, after all us combat vets that’s all we did in combat we lived just to exist that’s all we had to worry about, here in the civilian sector we have to deal with dishonest work colleagues, bosses, wives, girlfriends, kids, civilians who just don’t get it, we have to deal with mom, dad, siblings just life in general and that can become very very overwhelming, so choosing to be homeless just to survive quiets the mind. For those that get what I’m saying get it for those who read this and want to argue just don’t get it and never will

Too be honest I feel the only thing the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan were truly fighting for that really matters at the end of the day is the man on his left and right and when one of those men didn't make it home on their own boots it made the men he left behind feel as if they failed the mission whether or not the actual mission was completed everyone of those soldiers left a piece of themselves on every battlefield they stood on believe that.

i think this is a great doc / but having watched so many documentaries the past couple months about war - conflict - and the effect of tragedies placed on us while we venture through this thing called the human existence - i have a question - when did this thing of “i was trained to kill not how to not kill” become a thing ? i’m pro military very pro military - but when someone says that i start having questions on what kind of human we’re dealing with. you never hear a surgeon say - “i was trained to cut into people / sorry i keep opening up my wife every night - i wasn’t trained on how to not take my profession home” i tend to find people make excuses for actions they’re ashamed of… the most important thing in this life is going through things and not letting them change you - i get that ptsd is a real thing but your actions can’t be answered with this same line time and time again ….. or any excuse - like that line is so broad - and leaves more questions then answers … i truely don’t ever hear people from ww2 say that either - i hear stories about people coming back from ww2 and even vietnam and being great fathers and being a generation of stand up people - THE NUCLEAR FAMILY WAS A THING - i already hear the responses about the opposite side of those people but hey if that’s the depressing lens you want to view the world in - the “all soilders come back and absuse thier wives” lens then you’re sadly mistaken

Ramadi 05 was no joke, was a long 15mo. And its not about sending killers to police, its sending in killers and restricting them with politics and paper trucks. Thats why they sent us in the army to back up 2MD. Coming down of a 15mo adrenal high, was no joke either. But telling your wife that you have nothing left to live for, after she supported you through the deployments and bs, thats just fn selfish bs. it aint just about you.

@miket7173 11 ай бұрын

Big factor is the conventional marine and army forces where never trained for what the missions ended up becoming. To be amongst and interact with the civilian population especially in the Middle East you have to first understand the cultural aspect. No one was ever trained or prepared to become 3rd world police.
