It airs this Monday on NatGeo. Watch the 14 minute video and you will hear and see everything that is good about our soldiers. It returns to me faith that there continues to be a generation in this country that will step into the breach so that I may rest peacefully at night.
Some of the most candid comments - "they're fucking taking him". When told he was up for the medal of honor -"Fuck you" and not said with disbelief, more with disdain. "Whats it worth?" "Brennan, Mendoza"? "No".
RESTREPO is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, "Restrepo," named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military. This is an entirely experiential film: the cameras never leave the soldiers; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 90-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.
