Fort Bragg soldier stars in Iraq documentary

I just watched the clip of this documentary. It shows a part of life you don't often see unless you either live it or hunt the web for reports of it. Too many in this country have no clue about what they go thru or what their families go through. I've reached the point when I wonder if it is because there is so little national news coverage or is it because they just don't care? I used to blame the media for not reporting enough but after talking to a lot of people, watching their eyes glaze over trying to explain any of this, there has been a disconnected line between soldier and civilian. It's hard enough to get military spouses to pay attention to PTSD, but to get the American public interested enough to even want to listen seems impossible at times. How can you get them to pay attention when they don't even want to pay attention to either military campaign? There has to be some way of getting them interested in these men and women risking their lives serving the nation that transcends political ideology. I don't know what the answer is but this documentary is a good step toward doing just that.

Fort Bragg, N.C. — Filmmaker Jake Rademacher knew his two brothers were in the Army and serving in Iraq, but he didn't understand why.

He turned his effort to answer his questions into an acclaimed film, "Brothers at War," which opens this weekend in theaters near Fort Bragg, Camp Lejeune and Fort Benning, Ga.
