It starts as something we have already seen from Iraq. One side shoots, another shoots back, people die. This time you don't get to view this from a comfortable distance. This time you see the dirty side of the war. Although the insurgents are bad guys here, they are still human beings. Yes, sure, it's the war and the rule of the game is shoot to kill. But when the shooting stops you expect people to revert back to normal. What you will witness is a lack of empathy for another human being. And that's the most scary part of the documentary. The insurgent dies because of the brain injury, but the living soldiers will have to live with it for the rest of their lives, unless they have brain injuries themselves(no pun intended). That's something for the whole humanity to observe and learn.
