Title: Restrepo
Review: Actually "Restrepo", took me by surprise in that the directors did not try to be too didactic, and constantly say that "War is evil, blah, blah blah", rather Junger and Hetherington let us see those elements for ourselves..but sometimes a necessary evil.The fact that the Restrepo fort was later given up was just a tactic, not a loss. Anyway, I liked the closeness, the general feeling, nothing contrived. I served 1963-1965 and can relate alittle. No glorification, mainly cleaning of gear, hanging around waiting for something to happen, the closeness of the group. Yeah, video has certainly made things easier for the docu guys and I have to say thanks for the experience. Good to be real.
