Very good Danish documentary, hard-hitting and revealing. One of the best war documentaries of recent years.

It is one thing to go off to revenge the attack on 9/11 if you are a US citizen, it is entirely another thing to take that step to defend an Allie. How anyone could watch this film and then call it boring is beyond me. Life in a war zone is endless boredom, interrupted but extreme terror, savage injuries, death, and exhilaration. This film did an excellent job or portraying that reality. Kudos to the cameraman who bravely went into battle with this forces. Expand
