Storyline
Picks up where Restrepo left off. Once again we meet the men of Battle Company, 2nd Battalion, 503nd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in 2007-8. They are deployed at one of the most dangerous places on earth - certainly the most dangerous place, at the time, for US forces: the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. Journalist Sebastian Junger and photojournalist Tim Hetherington were embedded with the 2nd Platoon of B Company and captured their daily lives. Written by grantss

While many of the reviews were mediocre this time around Junger focused on the Combat Veterans out there. This really drove home many of the emotions and feeling soldiers experience. The boredom, adrenaline, and at times hopelessness and futility. For the general public who has never been in this situation I would recommend watching Restreppo and use that as a reference. For soldiers that have experienced this type of situation, this is the film for you. It was nice seeing many of the same soldiers I served with in this film.
The overall flow is very inconsistent and that is really also the way it feels while you are facing time in the suck. There are times when the soldiers are gun ho to the point of zealotry. This is an actual tactic many use to keep themselves moving each and every day. War is a wide plethora of emotions that can change in an instant. This is a real example of just that.
