The US military faces a mental health crisis of historic proportions. The Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that PTSD afflicts 20% of Iraqi war veterans (compared to 11% of veterans of the war in Afghanistan). Thank You for Your Service takes aim at our superficial understanding of war trauma and the failed policies that result. Through the stories of Iraq War veterans and candid interviews with top military officials, the film argues for significant internal change and offers a roadmap of hope. Interviews include Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Admiral Mike Mullen, Generals David Petraeus and Loree Sutton, Sebastian Junger, Nicholas Kristof, Dexter Filkins, Senator Patty Murray, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Colonels Lawrence Wilkerson and Dave Sutherland.
