By far this is the most explicit graphic war documentary I have ever seen. Only The Dead, and Vietnam Television History come close. Here we see the US Marines trapped in a hopeless situation without the support of the local population. Their comrades die around them. Totally uncensored and raw. No flashy Hollywood narrative or editing. They let their anger and stress out in a number of ways from daily hash and marijuana in the field, to out right anger. There's very intense gory footage of combat casualties and deaths right in front of the camera in high-quality. For those going to point the finger at these US Marines none of them were drafted they all volunteer for their country. And what's happening in Afghanistan right now one could argue was a lot worse than what the US Marines ever did. And if no one's ever lived under the Taliban control then they really shouldn't comment. This film just throws you right into a war to get a glimpse of what it's like. If one is looking for more of a artsy documentary with a plot maybe stick to the National Geographic Afghanistan documentaries but of course they're censored.

With its scattered and non-narrative storytelling, it is definitely not for those viewers who aren't typically drawn to documentaries. BUT if you're a doc lover, this one is amazing. It is insightful, honest, brutal, and-at times-truly difficult to watch due to the graphic content. I had a visceral reaction to this film; I was angry and saddened by the behavior of these young men, while at the same time experiencing their fear and loneliness. Not to get too literary about a movie, but it reminded me of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. Similarly to the idea of the novel, this doc shows the stretches of boredom and also the bursts of excitement; the pride of protecting people and also the lack of humanity from over-exposure to violence; the need to fight for a larger cause and also the misunderstanding of other cultures. I highly recommend!!!

I know for certain that this is not the realities of war, but a cinematic Hollywood adaptation to the world, but nonetheless the film provides an insight. I'm very grateful for the reality in which the film provides As for my comments on how the USA military is... I'll keep that to myself.

This movie is really interesting and well made. It shows the conflicting intellectual and spiritual toll war takes on individuals. On the other hand, it does a good job at depicting soldiers for what they really are: uneducated, narrow-minded, monoethnic, monolingual, violent, murderers, without any pride, honor, or courage, whilst convincing themselves they have all three. They clearly lack the wisdom and the intelligence to take or save a life. It conveys the true necessity to jail all soldiers for life, or give them the capital punishement. This movie provides a raw insight into the minds of individuals who are responsible for the destabilization of the Middle East, and for listening to even less educated politicians.

It shows true segments of wartime experience and also what young people who we send to war sometime act like. However, the negative is what naysayers key on. Fact is, what sometimes is said and done in that situation doesn't translate well to the civilian world out of context. The language, horseplay, and interaction with civilians and the enemy are all by products of war. It is harsh, ugly and dark. Our Marines are just trying to survive in an impossible situation not of their own making. It is what it is.

This film has received a lot of criticism for its lack of narrative story telling, and I can understand why that might frustrate some viewers. However, the title of the film promises exactly what it delivers: a view of combat from the periphery. Obscured from direct line of sight. In my opinion, this is the most candid and realistic account of combat to be portrayed in documentary form. And it effectively conveys the absurdity and intensity of modern war. This film is not supposed to answer questions. It is simply here to illuminate a side of war that is rarely seen. I find this film incredibly refreshing in its honesty. The concept is fully realized and perfectly executed. I think it will serve as a staple for future generations that wish to understand America's war on terror and the men who fought it.
