Yes i am in the US Army and I can say I've never been in combat and I will never know what these men go through. I know it must be very difficult but I still will never know. I have much respect for my brothers and sisters who have been in combat. Much love!

Possibly one of the best I've ever watch regarding Afghanistan and/or Iraq. I love any kind of documentaries especially at POV regarding War. War never leaves you , you have to learn to leave the war. You'll never experience anything like that in civilian life. The Brotherhood, Rush , images , smells , and fear are things you'll never be able to escape; you just learn to move forward. One foot in front of the other, one breath at a time, and vision to be grateful for allowing
