HIS CONCLUSION...

In my opinion subject of war is a bad thing.  Blake Miller is a good example.  His dreadful experience in Iraq led to depression.  When I was watching his documentary I felt angry and sad.  Before the war, he had his whole life ahead of him.  He planned on marrying his life long friend and he planned on a happy life, But that was before he got sent to Iraq.  He explained to us how he felt while he was in Iraq.  He took the lives of others and that led to suicidal thoughts.  He must've felt scared, not alone, but scared.  His job was to kill people.  He called them "innocent people", meaning that they were just normal citizens of Iraq.  When he returned home, he didn't feel the same.  He couldn't sleep, He felt alone, and his relationship with his wife was hanging by a thread.  He went to the office of a Congressman, in Washington D.C., for help,  But the congressman told Miller he didn't have time.  This disturbed me.  Our government sends us out to fight for this country, they pay us for it, and some Americans get an education out of it... But when it comes to being suicidal, the government apparently doesn't have time to help the citizens in need.  I feel that war does things to people who are not emotionally stable for this kind of work, and that the government should find a way to help those people whether they have time or not.  Blake was not emotionally stable and he deserved that help.
