"Restrepo"

George Walker Bush and Richard Cheney need to be impeached.  This is NOT a strategy, this is a highway project.

Our soldiers lived and died.  Our commanders ran war tactics at the demands of the Commander and Chief and for what?

Afghanistan's Korengal Valley was abandoned after President Obama took office.  The USA military was engaged in combat with militants over a ROAD PROJECT.

In the film, I have never witnessed such bravery and commitment by the officers and soldiers of the USA.  They are damn good at what they do.  They love their country and commit 100% to their missions.  The ludicrous nature of the battles that killed Americans and allies in the Korengal Valley was not their fault, it was the orders of a desperate President that had already lost the war and the respect of the USA people while dodging impeachment.

COIN is not a legitmiate strategy for any war.  It is a 'think tank' battle field and it is a dreamscape.  Billions upon billions of the USA treasury was spent on a campaign of shame in the Korengal Valley.  If this is a PR problem for Secretary Gates and he loses officers due to it, then it is meant to be.  This entire military campaign was the 'worst' of the USA military.  The absolute worst.  A road?  A road was a strategy?  I don't think so.

I reget the loss of life of any of the soldiers in this film.  They are magnificent men and soldiers and the pride of our country, it is damn unfortunate they didn't have a Commander and Chief that valued them and their commitment enough to never use them as political pawns.  I wish the USA military would find a way of exposing this kind of idiocy before it costs lives and allies.  Do you the kind of permission this type of 'war movement' gives to corruption?  No wonder things are as they were found to be when we returned to Afghanistan.
