I would say almost all of the soldiers we interviewed said they would go back. Even Luke Wilson who lost his leg said he wanted to go back. Vinnie Jaques absolutely wanted to. Most of them were pretty conservative on their viewpoints. Rebeka Mae Bruns is about as far left as someone could beshe enlisted as an army journalist because she wanted to go over there and document history. Her colonel told her to stay out of Fallujah and she hopped on a tank going right into the heart of the battle anyway.
An interesting footnote is a section that didn't make the final cut. Shortly after these soldiers returned home they were once again redeployed, this time to New Orleans right after Katrina. What they saw there was a nightmare that hasn't really made the press because the vast majority of the press were and are not in the worst sections of that devastated city. You don't think of America as a place where someone is standing on a corner smoking a cigarette and 5 feet away are dead bodies decomposing in the streets.
