Yeah, it follows a Dutch infantry platoon through their deployment, so there are subtitles, but in my personal experience, it shows what it is really like.  At least from what I dealt with over there.  I don't want to take away from Restrepo, it's a great documentary.  I just think the other two that I mentioned are much better. :salute

Danish... I know we Euros all look alike to you. ;)

You guys really should check out "Armadillo" or "This is what winning looks like".  They give much better feels of what it's like there imo.

Going to this weekend

I haven't seen "This is what winning looks like", but I found it on youtube (published by the author). Will see it tomorrow...

It is a very good watch if you want to see the Afghanistan we are leaving behind & how the "friendly" Afghans actually feel about us.

I just watched " this is what winning looks like " and I am not surprised at all by it.

Or how to fail at nation building. It's "hearts and minds" all over again. Only politicians can delude themselves into believing Afghanistan can be made civilized quickly, and gently...
