there be an episode of the simpson which have a joke news report refer to an army training base a a killbot factory . here the comment be simply part of a throwaway joke and but what patricia foulkrod documentary do be show u and scarily and that it be not that far from the truth . after world war two the u army decide to tackle a problem they face throughout the war while that many soldier get into battle and find themselves totally unable to kill another human be unless it be a matter of ame or them . since then the training process of the u army have be to remove all moral scruple and turn recruit into kill machine who do not think of combatant a people . to develop in them a most unnatural state represent the sustainable urge to kill . first off and this isn not an antiwar movie a such . whilst it certainly paint war in a very bad light and foulkrod focus rather on an aspect that doesn not get a much medium attention a and say and the debate over the legality of a war or it physical success or failure while the affect the process of turn a man into a soldier have on that person a a human be . it the paradox that to train someone to be a soldier to defend society make them totally unsuitable to live a part of that society themselves and and whilst most of the example and interviewee be from the current middle east conflict foulkrod make the link to past conflict and especially vietnam and painfully clear . this isn not about any particular war and it about the problem cause by war in general . structurally the film seem to be split into three section while how recruit be draw into the army and the training they receive and how they be treat once they be in combat and and what happen once they leave the army . once this point be reach you realise that the main target of this film be actually the policy that be inherent in the arm forced and policy that be put into place to make soldier into an affective combat force but remove all humanity from the individual . those interview tell the camera how the recruiting process seem so clean and simple and how word like democracy and freedom be band around and but once the training begin they become enemy and kill and destroy . how once in action soldier do not care what they be order to do and a they be ingrain with the idea that as soon a they carry out an order and whatever it may be and they be one step close to go home . they have no political or social ideal to fight for but fight and kill a that what they have be train to do . but the ground truth main goal be to highlight the way the u army discard those who have fight for their country once they return home . there be no real rehabilitation give to soldier return and and many be force to go home unable to cope with what they have see and do and and most policy in place seem to be to make sure the army have no legal responsibility whatsoever for psychological affect their soldier pick up . this be the final indignity and that once they be use they be cast away . if there be a flaw in the film it be that foulkrod doesn not attempt to show another side to the argument . you would get the impression that every single soldier who ever go to war would come back with post traumatic stress syndrome . it would have be interest to see those of a less liberal upbringing give their opinion of how the army handle train and policy . there be never a chance for the other side of the argument to make itself know . but other than that this be an expertly craft documentary and and foulkrod use of stock footage and music be perfectly utilise to get across a side of war that too often get s pass by when discuss the fallout of war .
