discussion for the 2010 documentary Restrepo
AK
Does anybody have any screenshots showing what kind of AK-47 gun the guy was carrying? If so, please post it. Thanks! -PhantomTrain
Realness
Just had to say that I think it's so cool that they actually filmed the soldiers at O.P. Restrepo!!! This is the real thing!! Now I want to join the Military. Whose with me?
- Not sure how serious you are (hopefully, joking), but if you read the book, it says that half of the guys from the platoon were on psychiatric meds during the deployment, due to the intense stress of combat. Not to mention that you're seeing 2 hours of a deployment that lasted over a year and was filled with a high degree of boredom, tension, and loneliness for all of the men involved. I have enormous respect for these guys and what they went through, but "cool" is hardly the word I would choose to describe it. -MT2008 21:32, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Actually, the real reason i wrote this part is so you all know that these aren't Hollywood mockups. The guns are as real as the soldiers shooting them.
However, I still feel strongly about anything relating to war. As the creater of this page, I hereby dedicate it to all soldiers, past, present and future, that help keep America safe. -PhantomTrain
- Unfortunately, PhantomTrain, this page is gonna have to go. Somebody else already asked if they could make a page for this documentary, and we told them no, because IMFDB doesn't allow documentaries anymore. I loved Restrepo as much as anyone, but I also have to enforce the rules. -MT2008 21:23, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
