if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Blistering performances.

A few soldiers shot up in Iraq, who in shrill diatribes whine about their war experience, one who is permanently wheelchair-bound and addicted to medications, and sees the government as not helping him. A disillusioned soldier who goes to an anti-war rally (episode 6), joins the anti-war movement and meets a Christ-like portrayal of anti Iraq war leftist activist Cindy Sheehan. A lot of whiny soldier characters and their suffering families spitting profanity at each other in bitter exchanges.
Gee, what's not to like? When I looked up the series after viewing it and saw it was written by leftist reporter Martha Raddatz, I was not surprised. Score another for the America-hating, military-hating Cultural Marxist American Left. This miniseries is the polar opposite of the movie LONE SURVIVOR, which I saw as a testament to the conditioning, training, relentlessness and brotherhood of soldiers who serve, even when things go wrong. Another reviewer here compared this series to BLACKHAWK DOWN. But in BLACKHAWK DOWN, even when things went bad, the characters relied on their training and dealt courageously with a bad situation. The movie I'd most closely compare this LONG ROAD HOME series to is Oliver Stone's BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY starring Tom Cruise. Although FOURTH OF JULY had far better acting and direction. In THE LONG ROAD HOME, these are characters who blame America, turn on America and join the resistance to oppose the soldiers they previously fought alongside. It is deeply one-sided America-hating propaganda. Cultural Marxism seeks over 4 or 5 decades to undermine patriotism, nationalism and faith in government, so that with enough indoctrination the next generation is unwilling to defend it, and is open to the socialist/globalist order positioned to replace us. This series is certainly a propaganda piece aimed toward that goal.

I should have known that when Martha Raddatz was crying on election night because Trump won the election that she would influence a leftist propaganda set piece. That's exactly what this is. I sat through the first few episodes. They were merely okay. Then the bias set in. I told my wife I see where this is going. She agreed. Peace-love and Americans in war-time are the problem. Avoid!

Any war story is difficult to sit through especially when it is based on real people and real events. Unfortunately this production suffers from weak character developments, cheap production, stunningly boring script. The "home" story is just plain dreadful and unnecessary (could they have hired worse actresses?.?). Sorry, but this miniseries is just not up to the usual Nat Geo level.

After viewing part I and II, I found this to be a well produced contemporary war drama. In my opinion, the devoutly Christian aspect of the characters detracts severely from the telling of a good story. I am sure it will leave secular viewers like myself feeling like you do when your company softball team captain asks everyone to bow their heads in prayer before the game as if we are all "good Christians" or at least respectful heathens. Should I assume that Nat Geo is now the Christ Channel?
