Interesting documentary. When I finished watching it, I was more annoyed then anything else. There were many questions left unanswered, as anther post suggests. She just seemed like an angry, young girl in the end. I'm not sure what she was expecting when she signed up for the army? Clearly, any normal person would know what could happen, especially considering this was just after 9/11.

Bottom line: don't sign up. I do think the gov't has a responsibility to help her out, but what level of personal responsibility should there be? People suffer from PTSD for all sorts of things, and must carry on. And finally, we really don't know how much "acting" or "over-acting" there was here. People act differently when a camera is on them. How much was done to appease the film makers and make her struggles look worse than they are?
