An HBO documentary that follows Bravo Company, 1/6 as they secure a portion of Marjah. Very well done. You can watch it on On-Demand if you have it.

Crazy, I just finished watching this while I finished up some late night work at my laptop. Glad I searched before starting a thread.
Very well done indeed. I wouldn't say that it's as gripping as Restrepo, which felt like a kick to the 'nads, but it drew my focus away from the project I'm working on pretty steadily.
I couldn't believe the level of incompetence by the Afghan troops. I know it's just a snippet shown on film, but if that is anything close to the condition of Afghan troops, that country really is fucked.
