As America prepares to observe Veterans Day and President Obama weighs sending
more troops to fight in Afghanistan, “Bill Moyers Journal” broadcasts
a powerful documentary about the impact on soldiers of learning to kill – or
be killed. “The Good Soldier” follows four veterans – one from World
War II, two from Vietnam and the fourth from Iraq – as they reveal how the experiences
of battle changed their lives.
Press freedom is under attack
As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
