Review of Restrepo (2010) by Chris F — 09 Oct 2014
Pretty extraordinary that this documentary is out there considering how much access to the press and independent filmmakers was controlled by the pentagon. This is a pretty unvarnished account of the lives of solders in Afghanistan.
That includes both dead military and civilians. Strips the flag waving and hyped patriotism by people whose only sacrifice to their country was the American Flag Lapel pin they'd wear to the office every day.
This isn't glamorous or glorified. It is the day to day life of a grunt in the field. I highly recommend this.
