Why the Brutalized Become Brutal

Chris Hedges interviews two veterans of the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They lament the brutality of the American military presence, which they say creates the conditions for terrorism and fuels attacks in places like Brussels. They also speak out about the painful struggle of coping with PTSD, and the alienation faced by many soldiers when they come home.
