This movie was running on the the National Geographic channel last week.  I think it is a must see for anyone that wants a look at the Afghanastan War.  It is not for younger viewers as it can be brutal and has stong langauge.  But it gives an up front look at what the front lines are like.  This is not a made for TV movie but a real life production as it happened the good and the bad for 14 months....in hell.  If you can see it, watch it.
 
 

National Geographic Movies:

From May 2007 to July 2008, Battle Company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade was stationed in the remote Korengal Valley of eastern Afghanistan—considered one of the most dangerous postings of the war. The soldiers of Second Platoon built and manned a remote and strategic outpost that they named Restrepo in honor of their medic, Pfc. Juan Restrepo, who was killed in action. This is their story, in their words, of a group of men who came be considered the “tip of the spear” for America’s efforts in that area.
