Modern movie “realism” ignores God, which is one reason many Christians ignore movies. The filmmakers would have gagged at the idea of making the movie “unrealistic” by leaving out the foul language, but scenes of troops praying or returned troops meeting with the pastor of their church probably aren’t even considered. The answer is always more drugs and counseling. The movie is also void of any reliance on God.

There is also some very strong war violence in the opening and flashback sequences.

While it may be good for Americans to know what their troops go through on their behalf, HOME OF THE BRAVE is loaded with foul language, bad attitudes, bad behavior, drinking, and drugs.

The movie makes war look horrible but is not anti-war or radical leftist. The movie deals with bad dreams and memories, difficulty sleeping, drug use, alcoholism, and rage, among other problems, experienced by those trying to shift from battlefield conditions to civilian life. HOME OF THE BRAVE tells the story of soldiers coming home from Iraq and having difficulty adjusting to civilian life because they are haunted by the horrors of war they experienced.
