Korengal picks up where Restrepo left off; the same men, the same valley, the same commanders, but a very different look at the experience of war. Korengal explains how war works, what it feels like and what it does to the young men who fight it. As one soldier cheers when he kills an enemy fighter, another looks into the camera and asks if God will ever forgive him for all of the killing he has done. As one soldier grieves the loss of his friend in combat, another explains why he misses the war now that his deployment has ended, and admits he would go back to the front line in a heartbeat. Every bit as intense and affecting as Restrepo, Korengal goes a step further in bringing the war into people's living rooms back home.

Penilaian dan ulasan

I enjoyed this doc, but I do wish there was more combat footage. This documentary quickly shows you whats going thru the minds of our soldiers during war time. Makes you appreciate a bad day at work. Much respect to those guys. Recommend.

This "return" to Korengal seemed to be scraps from the first editing effort. I feel sorry for the soldiers. They were in a mental meat grinder and that fact was devistatingly evident in the first documentary.

You will never know the true reality of war no matter how well a documentary is put together like the combat veteran knows.
