Iraq and Afghanistan veterans explore the myth, the reality and the cost of their wars.

With courage and candor, veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan share deeply personal stories from their deployments and consider the impact of their wars. Their stories, interspersed with authentic photos and video, paint a profoundly honest and compelling picture of the post-911 wars and their cost to veterans, to Iraq and Afghan civilians and to America.
