There's a TV program in France about US soldiers coming back home from Iraq. The Channel is M6 and I can't get it but sister channels will certainly broadcast it. Itwouldbe censored in the US as ine story involves a soldier who gets killed and brought back to his family. The trip back is filmed (at the request of the family).

They left for Iraq, in 2003, to find weapons of mass destruction and to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
It's four years later, and what is the state of mind of the GI's?
More than 3 400 of them were killed, and those who remained on the spot must face daily attacks. Rather than filming the war and the combats, Laurence Haïm was interested in the morale of American soldiers in Iraq. Camera on the shoulder, she followed the 32e brigade, the Stryker unit, during three weeks. Its documentary, programmed in "exclusive Investigation" at M6, shows GI at the edge of or even in full depression.
Moreover, one soldier out of three, once back home, suffers from mental disorders.

At the fall of night, in their fortified camp, they are playing karaoké when others pass the hours to discuss on Internet with their family to try to forget their day. "Without the Web, I do not think that I would hold", sergeant Mickaël Engus states.
For those who are fed up, a sergeant of the unit reconverted himself as a psychologist. A therapeutic area was even installed between the concrete walls on which the soldiers who wish it, can paint. Among the vast landscapes of their native America, one of them wrote "Help!" in capital letters.

ANTITERRORIST MEDAL
In the United States, the war, although remote, is weighing. The journalist went to a small city of Arkansas which is on the point of burying sergeant Freeman Garner, member of the Stryker unit, killed in action at the age 26. On a purely posthumous basis, one decrees the antiterrorist medal to him, while his wife sees herself given a flag as well as the alliance carried by her husband.
Those who return wounded are also accomodated in great pump, such as Chris, who, at 25 , is already retired, after three return tickets in Iraq and a year and half stuck on a hospital bed. In more of these physical wounds, the young man must compose with psychological after-effects. It is also the case of Steve, another returned soldier from Iraq.
He suffers from post-traumatic stress and is afraid to leave his place: "I have hidden the knives everywhere at home and bought a dog to be accompanied when I leave for shopping", he says.
Like Steve, thousands of American soldiers, more or less financially abandoned by the army, which however did everything it could to enlist them, must from now on learn how to rebuild their life.
