Restrepo
Just finished watching Restrepo, a National Geographic documentary that chronicles the experience and camaraderie of soldiers stationed in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley, “one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military.” Restrepo was a 15-man outpost named for Juan Sebastián Restrepo who was killed early in the deployment. There’s a gut-wrenching scene when one of the men is killed during Operation Rock Avalanche and the immediate outpouring of grief from his fellow soldiers. America withdrew forces from the area in April 2010.
