Title: 9th Company (as seen from a Vet)
Review: This is a rather surprisingly well done film covering what was happening in Afghanistan during the Soviet Invasion (Dec 1979 to Feb 1989) and is quite relevant to understanding US and allied troops deployed there from 2001 to the present.The director and cast accurately portray what life has been like (and still is) in the former Soviet Army and the 'new' Russian forces. As in many other recent war movies, it focuses on a typical small-unit and explores the personalities of a handful of conscripts, from peasants to the college-kid type. Watching this evokes images from "Platoon" or "Full Metal Jacket" with a Slavic flavor.
