Earlier in the summer I read "War" by Sebastian Junger. Yesterday on demand, I saw the documentary that Junger released and that compliments the book. I gained respect for the book because of the mass chaos that goes on and Junger's ability to get that down in words. The documentary is called "Restrepo". It was really intense and the first real footage of combat in Afghanistan that I have seen. The news does not show combat like this. I don't want to go too much into the story but it is about a group of soldiers that are positioned in the most remote and dangerous part of the war, the Korengal Valley. 90% of all the fighting in Afghanistan happens in this one small area. Really good documentary and if you have on demand, National Geographic has it. Here is a trailer.
