I also highly recommend "Restrepro". A combat film maker lives with an infantry platoon through it's tour on the front lines in Afghanistan along the border with Pakistan. They are ordered to build an outpost on dirt no one before has been able to hold. They do so and name it Restrepro after the first man in their unit KIA... a very well liked young man...a medic who they knew would come to their aid no matter how many bullets were flying.

The young soldiers represent their country and their generation very well. We owe it to them to listen to their story.

There is an obscure movie in color I saw called “The Beast”. It was about the Russians fighting in Afghanistan.
