I watched the doc. It wasn't bad. Pretty much the reason for attention was the fact she had been a seal and had been on the mission that got Bin Laden. She had lost her prominent position in the military. She was living out of a motor home. She did seem to have a good relationship with her family and small town community for the most part, though they do discuss brushes with bigotry.

She did a lengthy ->-bleeped-<- conversation that day you can read:
