Shadow Company is always worth a watch.

Documentary on PMC's in Iraq, the industry and where warfare is going in the next 5 years.

Theres a wealth of interesting material out there about this topic, its essentially the new wild west.

That was savage to watch:)

Gatling

cant beleive they decapitated a kid ,filthy scum bags

swiftblade

What shocked me was that the Taliban were getting pretty close with their shots. That sniper :eek: Or the RPG that hit right next to them.

They also tried to shoot down the med evac heli. You also got the feeling throughout it how close the Taliban actualy were.

very close a lot of the time, if you get the chance watch ross kemps in Afghanistan and return to Afghanistan documents well the close fighting, either urban or even closer int he rural environment when clearing vegetation/crops

there are some good videos about will try and dig them up

edit: found one ( warning, graphic content at one point )

I've been trying to find a copy of that for a while now.

Where did you see it do you mind me asking? If the method you obtained it is only legal in Somalian waters you needn't reply to save yourself the trouble.

I saw Restrepo this evening.

It's very, very sobering.

Gatling

was it good or was it very good

OzCam

It shows how much hurt real bullets cause, and how silly we are when we take our game too seriously.

Puding

Got to watch a copy , an interesting but often hard watch .

AN honest look at the true cost of a conflict in terms of people rather than the normal pre occuppation with hardware.

If your just looking for firefight and insperation for a loadout, then stick to the discovery channel this is so much more

i was suprised to see an IDF team in Top Sniper
just started to watch it and hope they do well

I caught a few episodes of Combat School yesterday on the History Channel. Showed the last exercise mission, then deployment to Afghanistan and a few of the contacts they've had there. It was interesting to see, I didn't expect the camera crew to embed with them while deployed.


Watched a documentary film called This Is War last night too. Very, very different to what you'd be familiar with as a war doc. It's entirely shot by four Marines, on their camcorders, as they deploy to Iraq before the invasion, and takes then right up to Baghdad.
If you want a doc or a film that shows troop tactics or elaborate firefights, this isn't for you. This is far more of a "through the eyes of a soldier" kind of thing. Everything from messing around on a troop carrier, to the very graphic aftermath of an artillery bombardment.
Not one for the squeamish.

Talking about the effort being put into eliminating a single target on a ridge line, harassing the column outside Al Kut one night;

"It's going to cost us twenty grand to kill this guy. How much is a life worth?"
"Fúck'em. Let him burn."

Restrepo is on the 26h or 27th on one of th discovery channels saw the trailer for it last night looks really good

listermint

29th on National Geographic - World Wide TV Premiere of Restrepo : Outpost Afghanistan.



Also if you can get hold of a copy of 'Armadillo' Filmed in 2009 it is equally if not more so a real life story of Danish troops in Afghanistan.
