Eliciting outrage and shame in equal measure, Thank You for Your Service details the lack of mental-health support offered to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces-and the tragic consequence of that neglect.

... it's not the expert commentary, as illuminating as it is, that gives the film its power. Rather, it's the handful of veterans who discuss their emotional struggle...

Scenes ... make you want to scream in frustration at the bureaucracy faced by combat veterans seeking mental health services.

Heavy duty Army movie of true to life suicides, wounded soldiers, etc. returning home from their service duties. Exposes the depths of the psychological problems of soldiers returning home for war. Movie exposes the long wait for psychological services for soldiers returning home. Not recommended for those unable to handle the horrors of war.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Our soldiers make huge sacrifices beyond anything the rest of us can understand. This true story was well acted and really raised my level of respect for these guys and their families. Thanks for your service!! My prayers are with you.
