Topic B - Restrepo and/or war in Afghanistan
Its ridiculous how simple it was for one camera crew to enter into one valley with one platoon for one year to completely blow our minds. It is almost as if we as a country, besides those of us who may have friends or family within the service, have forgotten that we are fighting a war in a foreign country with people as young as 18 years old against groups of extremists with guns and explosives. Saying that right there makes the hair on my neck stand on end. How have we forgotten or simply put aside something so severely intense? The movie Restrepo takes us into the minds, hearts, and situations of the soldiers that are constantly fighting to keep us safe, yet we go on living, day by day, without it possibly even crossing our mind.
