Fort Bliss: Directed by Claudia Myers. With Michelle Monaghan, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Pablo Schreiber, Ron Livingston. After returning home from an extended tour in Afghanistan, a decorated U.S. Army medic and single mother struggles to rebuild her relationship with her young son.

“SSG Swann was in the Afghanistan conflict as a combat medic, and she was exposed to some situations that no human that has not been in combat could understand. I think the film gives viewers a taste of what the most simple encounters there were like. I think it does a great job of explaining that sometimes you can never ever talk to your family or friends about your combat experience, or face judgement from them because of it. Iu0026#39;m not a female, and Iu0026#39;m married with kids, but I have personally witnessed this type of situation unfold. Iu0026#39;ve only discussed the most….I guess Boring parts… with them. There were some factual errors, sure, but they werenu0026#39;t too far off. If it werenu0026#39;t for the small factual errors (commissary open at night, what?), this would definitely get 10 stars from me.”
