Even during slow periods, it provided me with a flood of memories from my own time in theatre during Desert Storm. Not a documentary or even a real cohesive story line in the film, but a clunky yet accurate representation of daily life of soldiers in a lingering combat zone very much worth seeing. Really shows how quickly last year’s high school graduates can adapt to a threatening, miserable environment and become men.

I am a big fan of military movies and documentaries. This is a great movie about the war in Iraq and the situations that our military family members endure on a daily basis. The movie is shown as a behind the scenes look of what the war on terror is really like in and out of the streets of Baghdad. I love this film it is a great buy. You also get a first hand look at how the new military troops are handling their situations.
Very personable. You meet several young people giving it all they have to do a job. Terror, humor, crassness, vulgarity. In- your- face drama. These are not Rambo wannabees, they are real faces, real people. Just like in the Nam, or in the Mog, you see young people watching their buddies backs as they see friends by day, enemies the next. You can almost smell the smoke, and feel the rocks hitting your helmet as you search for the bad guys. Kids should be made to see this very important film, if nothing else to respect the Folks over their doing an impossible job
This documentry is a good look at the in's and out's of life for our American Soldiers serving in Iraq. The footage was filmed at the same time my husband was serving there and his unit get's a mention. This is a good watch/gift for those serving in the military or that enjoy military documentries. Many that have never served may not understand the "sense of humor."
I was there. This is the no kidding truth!! I have read where the Veitnam vets said that they didn't fight for God and country. They fought for each other. This movie hits dead on. It is a reflection on our country before it is a reflection of our Army!! If you are an American you should be forced to watch this movie. I only wish you could smell the air and fell the pride that these young men have. I am very proud to have served with these men. And feel quilty that I have not given more. CW3 McMurry(RET)
