- This Week: The Soldier's Heart (60 minutes), Feb. 24th at 9pm on PBS
(Check local listings)
With the U.S. Army now reporting a record number of suicides - the highest
since 1980, when it began tracking the rate - we offer an encore broadcast of
The Soldier's Heart this Tuesday night (check local listings).
In this emotional, one-hour film--praised by the Chicago Tribune for
exploring in depth the challenges that bedevil even well-meaning counselors,
in and out of the military, trying to help returning veterans of the war in
Iraq-- producer Raney Aronson explores the psychological toll of war on
combat soldiers who've returned home, and investigates whether the military
has been doing enough to help them.
This is the most damaging type of war psychiatrically, combat veteran and
counselor Jim Dooley tells FRONTLINE. You have no protection anywhere at all
times... And you're also witnessing death at an incredibly close range. When
you are finally back here, and you make connection with your safety, which is
your family--that's when you begin to vibrate with the fact of where you
were.
Nobody comes back from combat unchanged, a top Defense Department official
in charge of mental health tells FRONTLINE. [Soldiers] will have
expectations about what their families are going to be like. Their families
have expectations about what they're going to be like. And the one thing that
is absolutely true about all of those expectations is that all of them are
going to be wrong.
We hope you'll join us Tuesday night. In the meantime, visit our Web site to
sample the report online, read some of the hundreds of letters we've received
about the film, and get updates on the soldiers we profiled, and how the
military is dealing with this ongoing issue.
