Review of Restrepo (2010) by Chloe C — 08 Dec 2011

Yes, this gives the ordinary civilian a glimpse of some of the hard ships that coalition soldiers have gone through in Afghanistan but I found the soldiers disgusting. The part where they laugh and joke about an Afghani being torn apart limb by limb by heavy gunfire is revolting. I can fully appreciate that they feel no sympathy to people that want to kill them but the afghani has been indoctrinated by the Taliban and doesn't know better. I just found it sickening.

Also, the commanding officer was as foul as they come. His response to finding out his orders has killed 5 innocents was something like "gosh" or "oops", I forget which exactly, and his rudeness to the local inhabitants was disgraceful.
