Surprised he didn't get sniped in Afghanistan during the filming of Restrepo.

RIP.

WOW just crazy how these guys go through so many different areas and are untouched and then it happens. He did great work and I enjoyed watching Restrepo that he worked on.

He was a soldier with the rest of them, just took on the Documentaries as a hobby while over there.  :salute

According to Wikipedia he's a journalist (and British).
Also according to Wiki he worked on The Devil Came on Horseback about Darfur... which I've seen (I haven't seen Restrepo), it's an extremely intense film.

possibly "a hobby" was the wrong phrase to use. none the less he was a soldier with the rest of the men he slept next too.

out respect...lets not turn this into an argument.  :salute
