difficult movie to watch

This was a very difficult movie to watch. Rather than a war movie, it's an after-the-war movie with the returning soldiers all struggling to cope with different degrees of physical and mental disability. Betrayed by loved ones they left at home, struggling with brain injuries due to road-side bomb attacks, plagued with survivor guilt and all of them let down by the Army and Veterans Administration that's supposed to be helping them.

The movie it is most like is the outstanding "The Best Years of Our Lives" which was a multi-Oscar winner in its day, following how three war veterans try, with varying degrees of success, to reclaim their civilian lives. "Thank You for Your Service" is a much more brutal version of that story in terms of language and emotional angst of the survivors. Both are well worth watching.

Trivia
Amy Schumer donated all the money she earned for this movie to army war vet foundations.

Goofs
When Sergeant Emery is driving his car with Staff Sergeant Schumann riding in the passenger seat, the outside shots show a silver Dodge Challenger (2-door), but inside shots show what appears to be a 4-door Dodge Charger. (There is no 4-door Challenger.) In any case, there are back doors in the interior of the car, which is inconsistent with the exterior appearance of the car.

Quotes
Adam Schumann: [while having sex, Adam hallucinates Saskia getting hit with gunfire] Get off!
[he starts panting]
Saskia Schumann: What happened? What did I do? I don't understand. Tell me what to do. I need you to talk to me, Adam. It's time. I've given you months!
Adam Schumann: I thought we were broke, and you're buying fucking lingerie!
Adam Schumann: I thought you were fine. You're lying to me, I found your VA questionnaire, everything's a lie!
Saskia Schumann: I'm not lying.
Saskia Schumann: You're fucked up! You're not looking for a job! You're sick and I can't do anything if you don't fucking talk to me, Adam!
Adam Schumann: I have to be sick or I can't get my benefits.
Saskia Schumann: So you don't want to die? It was multiple choice and you said you wanted to die. Was that a lie? Hmm? Adam.
Adam Schumann: [sighs] I don't know.
Saskia Schumann: I wanna go to the VA with you next time.
Adam Schumann: All right.
