Personal response:
I thought that it was interesting because it was really factual and taught me stuff that I didn't know- I was shocked at the gouvernments attempts to cover up their connections with Saudi Arabia and how they took a back seat and were really ignorant - particularly to the soldiers and their families; The gouvernment care about maximizing their profits instead of the wellbeing of their community. -- SHOCKING.
