when i first watched it i thought it was really good, but then we watched it again as a unit and we went over every single thing that went horribly wrong for them. so its hard now to view it the same way lol

Read the book first.  Watching the documentary takes on a whole new light as you feel you actually know the people on screen.

I was just telling my cousin about it tonight, great documentary, I saw it on the Military Channel late at night a couple months ago like back in December, I wish I had recorded it on to my DVR, I definitely will if I see it on again.

Personally I also felt that it should have won the Academy Award for Best Documentary.

Yeah that's actually why I was telling my cousin about it, he only has the most basic cable package, like 7 channels, so he got a subscription to Netflix through his Wii and he said he's been watching a lot of documentary's on it so I told him that he needs to see if they have Restrepo and watch it, he's an ex military guy too, Air Force.
