Have some humanity Brother. I'm leaving for army basic training July 4th and i saw this movie touch me in a way most war based movies could not. If a comrade you spent months with is lying dead in front of you and your a new soldier to the Afghanistan battle environment you cant tell me you wouldn't at least shed a tear of freak the fuck out. Its not as simple as you think and theirs alot of men that have been in that position that did not compromise the mission.

When in war, you should not cry over comrades dead bodies. Death should be expected on the onset they put their uniforms and carries their weapons. Crying during combat is dangerous. You can die when you loose your focus in combat in mili seconds, even before the first drop of your tears hits the soil. You will also compromise the life of the other soldiers around you when they watch a cry baby crying over a dead body. As soldiers, deal with your mission first and set aside emotions latter, pour your tears on your pillow.

My best guess is Stay together for the kids by Blink 182

Mr. O'Bryne. I just finished reading Sebastien Junger's book, "War," that covers the events of this documentary. For whatever it's worth, thank you for what you and your men did.

A few of the guys in the platoon and I got to see this in NYC before Sundance. We left honored and proud of the film. It is very accurate to what we went through there. There are many reviews that forgot what this film was about. It is about men in combat. Its not a movie, its real life. Its what we went through. Thank you to everyone who watched it for what it is. If there is only one reason to watch it, watch it to learn what we had to go through. Watch it and hold your opinions. Just watch it and learn.

I beg your pardons. It's tough taking notes in the dark while trying to focus on the movie. I have corrected the error.

Great thanks to both of you and your families. I would LOVE to hear your opinions of this film.

You are right they were Army Airbourne, My Son's Army infantry unit replaced these guys on Restrepo. They lost several and had more wounded while there. Thank God they are back home now!

Great review, however the men in the documentary are not Marines. They are actually in the Army. Battle Company, 173rd 2/503, Airborne Infantry to be exact. I'm a proud sister of one of the brave men in the documentary. Have to give credit where credit is due.
