- A soldiers laments about a court case, referring to it as "f-ing bullsh*t".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Lots of talk about drinking, being drunk, and using alcohol to numb the psychological torment of memories of war.
- Some talk of psychological medication use.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The film is literally filled with graphic war footage as well as heart-wrenching interviews with veterans, and families of suicide victims. Constant talk of suicide, anti-social behavior, physical abuse, nightmares, and the horrors of war. Veterans cry while they describe war situation and how it affected them. The entire film is very emotional and distressing.
- Scenes from the 1920's of mentally ill veterans showing their disturbing symptoms such as shaking, walking twisted, and in utter panic. Will be disturbing for some.
