This isn't a documentary for the peace loving or the clean. It is an extension to Restrepo... which my wife would prefer that I quit watching. This movie is a TRUE to life documentary that represents the bond that you civilians dream of having.. but cannot. That bond IS formed in the crucible of combat. Its not ego.. its reality. I miss it day by day.. but not the other issues that go with combat deployments.
But I would like to call out CPT 'POS' Kearny, whom I despise from the original as an egotistical, "doesn't get it',incompetent leader that failed in the first and opened his mouth in the second, which quantifies as failure in my mind..a complete ass that one. Second.. and unfortunately I have to call out SSG Brendan O'Byrne with his BS diatribe about 'doing what you have to do'. You faqin azz. You signed up.. you have and lead Soldiers.. YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU MUST!! to bring them back. You fetal and cry in the shower on your own time. I wish you no ill will.. but please stop talking of your theological issues on an otherwise perfect movie.
Last bit.. and I am not sure if the audience is familiar with 'Roll Call' during a Soldiers memorial service. It is the most excruciating thing for me to observe, even on movie, and I shed..another tear for Restrepo.. whom I still don't know.. just like I did the fellows that I did that fell.
A great flick that most won't get. It's really for us current or ex- GI's that served in Iraq or the 'Stan. It is a true to life movie that shows the grittiness and brings fame on to great civilians that do the bidding of their government (other then Kearny, degenerate prick) regardless of their beliefs.
PS. I love 'Big Al' 50 Cal as well.. badest MoFo currently serving.
