Did you even watch the video?

Been chewing through it while posting.

Thanks for posting that Alby, i missed the broadcast.

Very poignant film that shows the most difficult thing a CO can have happen (at least im assuming losing someone under your command is the worst thing, i may be wrong), and to me at least, highlights the rapid transition between being deployed and seeing action (not having practised using a stretcher for example, thats how quick it was), scary stuff.

Absolutely, 100% recommend Restrepo. Fantastic look at how razor thin the line between trusting the Coalition and backing the insurgency is--and the kinds of individuals that are fighting the wars we have now.

If you want to go up the chain of command, read The Gamble and Fiasco.

I also have to recommend "Brothers at War".

Quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite good.
