The veterans, both men and women, speak of their experiences before, during, and after the war. The veterans speak about recruitment and training, combat, their returns home, facing their families, and their difficulties in making the necessary changes needed to fit back into society. The Ground Truth was released in theatres on September 15 of 2006 and released on DVD on September 26 of the same year.

During the chaotic final weeks of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon as the panicked South Vietnamese people desperately attempt to escape. On the ground, American soldiers and diplomats confront the same moral quandary: whether to obey White House orders to evacuate U.S. citizens only—or to risk punishment and save the lives of as many South Vietnamese citizens as they can. The events recounted in the film mainly center on the US evacuation of Saigon codenamed Operation Frequent Wind.

Le rideau s'ouvre sur une scène de théâtre où une reproduction du tableau du Yankee Doodle The Spirit of 76', peint par Archibald Willard, occupe le fond. Surgit Bugs Bunny jouant du pipeau avec une carotte, scène quasi identique à celle terminant le cartoon A Wild Hare (1940). Bugs croque la carotte et commence son discours patriotique en citant les figures emblématiques des États-Unis et tout d'abord de l'Oncle Sam, avec une certaine familiarité. Il revient en portant le chapeau aux couleurs du drapeau américain et la barbe blanche symboliques de l'Oncle Sam. Bugs lance des « war bonds » à pleines poignées, comme des tracts, et chante une chanson dont les paroles incitent l'assistance à acheter ces bons, qui « garantiront la liberté ». Il continue en dansant puis entame une parodie d'Al Jolson, artiste de music hall très populaire en Amérique et très lié au monde du jazz (il se maquille souvent en noir dans ses spectacles). Bugs prend les traits de Al Jolson et reprend brièvement son titre « Mammy », transformé pour l'occasion en « Sammy » (l'Oncle Sam). Porky Pig (en marin) et Elmer Fudd (en fantassin) rejoignent Bugs, chantent et dansent avec lui devant le public. L'image de la publicité pour ces bons vient clore le film.
