I really enjoyed it, and recommend it highly.

Seen it, alittle more Hollywood then real life but all in all a good pointer on what life in The Stan is for many of the legs.
If you liked this I can recommend "Armadillo" as well.
A no holds barred view on a Danish unit down south.
Up to and including getting into trouble for killing insurgents and joking about it afterwards..

Itīs all there, the job AND the ramifications of doing the job well.

We all saw it and heads were nodding all around the Teamroom.
