Ready for War

This film dives into the lives of true Americans fighting for their right to pursue happiness AFTER they've fought for the rights of others to do the same. Thank you Andrew Renzi and team for bringing to light this injustice that's often hidden behind blanketed cries of "support the troops."

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.

On surface, it seems like How could they send a vet back / deport them? But they are a very few as most have legally 8 years to nationalize and become a US citizen. And 95% of vets in this scene- do so. The problem with this doc is they don't show the other side. These are a small fraction who have all admitted that they have returned to crime, made mistakes legally, and are caught in the system... it's about crime and wanting exception for crime because they served in military. If you are ambitious and want to add value to a built society- then there are ways for you in the US. If you are a slacker, undriven, a drain, and only want to take from an advanced society- then No, that's not what US is about. And legal citizens flip the tax bill so that's why people get mad about opening the floodgates to immigrants who just 'want'- but aren't willing to 'give' by registering legally, paying taxes and sharing the load. Military? Paid by US Tax paying citizens. Hospitals, treatment, and Vet benefits?-Again paid by US Tax paying citizens. Every year, 300,000 unregistered immigrants cross into California... Don't pay taxes- and they wonder why State has gone broke/ bankrupt? Why cost of living is sky high? There are proper channels to be a US citizen- doing drugs and becoming hit men are not the way. But I do believe Military service should be weighed considerably in these men's cases-

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.

Too biased, agenda driven. It could have been a gem if it focused on the question of why these illegals don't fix their own countries, instead of leaving others behind in those current cesspools to do the work.
