Very good Danish documentary, hard-hitting and revealing. One of the best war documentaries of recent years.

This documentary helps to put some perspective on the war in Afghanistan, in that other countries have also sent their brave citizens off to fight what was our war. It is one thing to go off to revenge the attack on 9/11 if you are a US citizen, it is entirely another thing to take that step to defend an Allie. How anyone could watch this film and then call it boring is beyond me. Life in a war zone is endless boredom, interrupted but extreme terror, savage injuries, death, and exhilaration. This film did an excellent job or portraying that reality. Kudos to the cameraman who bravely went into battle with this forces.

better than restrepo but still a bore to watch. i'm sure the experience of war is harrowing but these documentaries are not. just like restrepo it shows a bunch of stereotypical military guys with superior training and weapons than their enemy, walking around accidentally killing livestock and the occasional civilian. inevitably they kill a few taliban and an IED blows up someone, but nothing changes. there's no sense of accomplishment. it plays out like nothing more than a pointless job, like working at mcdonalds.
