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..

It´s all there, the job AND the ramifications of doing the job well.

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

KJ sends..

I found Armadillo much better.

I prefer Armadillo.
Seems more honest.

It is, it has also been cut down for the documentary.

My brother was the idiot who comes out of the hut with no shirt and the goofy face.. I was on the other side of the mountain. We were watching each others flanks.

You should check out "Hooligans At War". It is kind of like Restrepo and takes place in eastern Afghanistan.
