Every war has victims - The dead, the maimed, the orphaned and wounded. All a result of mankind' brutality and a horrific testament to aggression. Some victims are those who try to appear fine but underneath a façade of normalcy lies a morbid affliction - Full of demons, anxiety, neurosis and haunting phobias. These victims suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

In 1982, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), launched what was intended to be a brief military campaign in Lebanon - Operation Peace for the Galilee. 18 years later, Israel has withdrawn back to within its own boarders, but for hundreds of combat soldiers, the war still rages on.

HARMED FORCES follows two ex-paratroopers who never recovered. Their battlefield was a city - Their enemy, a civilian population. They returned home shattered - Their families disintegrated, their wives unable to cope with their attacks, their lives withering away. This poignant film tells of their suffering and follows them into their homes, work, veterans hospital and the few isolated places where they find comfort.

Whether the conflict was Vietnam, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Rwanda or Lebanon, the unfortunate common reality is the inability of these soldiers to adapt back to society and, more disturbingly, the little help they receive in trying to regain their sanity and rekindle their lives. HARMED FORCES is an intimate portrait of two such men. HARMED FORCES tells the story of these two soldiers, and countless others, for whom something has forever changed and will never be the same.
