    Disappointed

    These men were given a chance to be American citizens and blew it. They lied about their past, committed crimes while in service, or just didn't complete the steps in the time given. I find this to be incredibly skewed in it's view, trying to convince people they were wronged somehow.

    I think they did a massive disservice to all those who did get their citizenship and live in America, didn't talk about them at all. Sèms like a doc. Whining about the few that broke the rules and didn't get to stay. Disgusted by this lie and twisting of the truth. No one made them do anything. They decided to serve because they thought it was the easy way in. The truth is the great things in life are never easy, and if.you don't work for it you won't get it.

    Propaganda Machine

    A "Documentary" about Illegals (technically a criminal) who join the US armed forces, fail to become a citizen within 8 years even though approval is guaranteed while they serve, then leave the service and become criminals (or continue to be criminals) get caught and get deported...then act like victims.

    Retired Army NCO

    Each soldier that is not a citizen is given 8 years to become a citizen. Commanders are more than happy to give the soldier time to get this done. So this is a story about lazy soldiers that failed to complete the mission. So making this up about anything else is a lie.

    Use what's between your ears, paranoid consipracy theorists who claim this is leftist propaganda

    Let's be real, most mass media is left leaning, so, the reviewers making a big fuss about this being leftist really isn't adding any value, but regurgitating what they hear.

    But, to level with them, just taking the facts presented in this documentary, let's consider for a moment the possibility that cartels are using our military to train their staff. Right or left leaning, that alone should give food for thought.

    Point is, accept that anything presented to you by another human being will always be biased. So, use what's between your ears, think for yourself instead of regurgitating everything that's fed to you.

    I give this documentary a 10 for being well made and providing another data point for me to chew on. Until the people claiming this is leftist propaganda can present actual facts to counter what's presented, I can't take their input seriously, and nor should you.

    Powerful!

    In any developed nation people will make mistakes and that is why we have due process. These veterans deserve better. Proves how much of a collateral we are. There were some happy endings in the docue but for the ones who have no way out of Mexico were probably better off dying on the battlefield.
