I talk about one of the best war movies to come out in recent years, even if it flew under the radar a little bit. Still, it's amazing.

A couple of the people in my last unit were at COP Keating. One was a medic and the other other was a combat photographer. I don't believe either were at this specific battle, I know the combat photographer wasn't, and they described how hearing the radio broadcasts and sounds from the movie really took them back to some times they didn't want to remember. This COP, or Combat Outpost, is such a metaphor for our whole involvement in Afghanistan. A useless COP placed in the middle of a valley with no strategic advantage while soldiers risk life for ultimately nothing.

A minor nitpick, 'most people' nowadays tend to blame America for most of Afghanistan's problems with jihadist groups (they do have a greater share of blame for failing to provide stability in the region when they fucking occupied it for 20 years), but the major player in financing and providing weapons for Islamic extremist groups in Afghanistan was the Pakistan intelligence, not the CIA.

You should check out "Where Soldiers Come From" as well. Its about the 107th Engineer Battalion, Michigan Army National Guard. It hits home from me because that was _also_ my battalion as well. It's not as "action packed" as RestRepo but it does give you a perspective of what it was like doing route clearance and searching for IED's. It also focuses on how the soldiers struggled with reintegration as well. Definitely underrated war doc IMO.

There are so many stories of this country from soldiers that might seem crazy, but this movie was a result of the craziness.

Afghanistan War films have proven to be quite well done. Lone Survivor (2013), 12 Strong (2018) and now The Outpost (2020). We are now getting two new ones this year alone with the upcoming Gerard Butler film Kandahar and The Covenant with Jake Gyllenhaal. I also recommend The Kite Runner (2007) & The Breadwinner (2017) for good stories on Afghanistan. Plus, films touching on the Soviet-Afghan War like Rambo 3 (1988), The Living Daylights (1987), and the vastly underrated The Beast (1988) have also become quite relevant again as a result of 2021.

It’s on the level of “we were soldiers” in terms of how anxiety inducing the first 30 or so minutes are. You already know what’s going to happen, but it’s terrifying seeing how undersupplied they were for being in a place completely exposed. Putting a base at the bottom of a valley so they could guard roads is fucking insane. I also want to congratulate the director on showing how completely exposed they were. I had never gotten the full perspective of how bad it was, I had only seen the one iconic image of the base from the hillside

My step father was apart of the 4th infantry division, and was supposed to be stationed in the valley, he had shot himself to get out of the army, mainly due to the fact he thought my mom was cheating on him, nevertheless a short month later the enital attack happened, SGT Knight took the place of my step father (SGT Olthoff) and the slow burning of events really shook him up, and really began to put him down the path of his split personality disorder. I lived on fort carson in colorado where the 4th infantry division is stationed, although I was very young, I ended up watching this movie with my mother about two years ago now, and I will never again, the amount of emotional connection my mother had to those people, and the way she pointed them out, was one of the most emotionally packed things I will ever experience, and to know I lived around these people for years was also something that hit me hard too. its one thing to see this from others, but I'll never forget the way my step fathers mental state deterinated in the next couple of years, leading my mom to divorce him, modern wars leave more people broken then dead, and it was really had to see.

The mere fact that they had a squad member who played himself accounted for some real factual shots of the firefight he witnessed first hand during deployment at camp Keating. It was the boldest re-enactment of what really went down that day. The actor who played Carter for me was outstanding, and given Carter was kept at arms length because his brothers and senior officers didn't trust him. The real Carter if depicted right proved to be both a mighty warrior and friend to the company. He deserved the M.O.H for the outstanding courage he displayed that day and the super human lengths he went to to get Mace to safety. I can fully appreciate how deeply it cut into him upon learning Mace didn't make it, as well as his brothers who fought to keep him alive. for that reason alone this is beyond doubt my favourate of all war movies, because it doesn't go off on a glorification tangent, They kept it true, and honoured those that fought and didn't make it.

I saw a netflix show called “medal of honour” and the show just shows certain medal of honour recipients and they try to recreate the certain events that occurred that got them their medal. And two episodes do show Clint Romesha and Ty Carter. The show has 8 episodes all from different wars each episode focusing on the individual. Sylvester Antolak running towards a German machine gun nest even after being shot I think two or three times, lost feeling in his right arm so he tucked his Thomson under his left armpit took out the nest, he also ran alone so his squad could also get up to the machine gun nest because they were getting ripped apart. Second is Clint Romesha at Keeting in Afghanistan. Third is Edward Carter who single handedly crippled a German stronghold in Germany. Hiroshi Miyamura who held off a wave of Chinese soldiers, ran out of ammunition for the two machine guns in his hole, used all his grenades then went berserk and charged into the Chinese wave that was charging him, he got into hand to hand and then American mortars started hitting because they thought he was dead and he ran behind enemy lines and was captured by the Chinese after being wounded from a grenade. Vito Bertoldo who haunted the german army in a town single handedly, german records show that there’s one guy holding a position which he held for a few days. Joseph Vittori who single handedly held a hill from the Chinese army, there were four machine gun nests and all were dead except for him and a wounded guy who couldn’t do anything really and he would run from one nest to the other holding the line. Richard Etchberger who exposed himself to enemy fire in order for his comrades to evacuate. Ty M. Carter also Keeting. The show is overall good because it talks about the past these guys had and endured to the moment of that event. I think mainly the reason why outpost was made was because two soldiers during the same battle and same day and time both received medal of honours which that doesn’t happen very often and I believe that’s the first that that has happened in United States history, I could be wrong but I’m Canadian, not Americano.

More than likely it is not that Broward's real person did not want to be represented in the film, but more so the film producers, studio, etc did not wan to be sued on grounds of defamation. It happens often where characters based on real people that are poorly depicted in media will use a pseudoname. If the person is still alive they can sue for defamation, sometimes surviving members of that person can also sue on their dead relative's behalf.

Nice review! Was hoping you'd mention the Latvian presence in the film- the guys who trained the Afghani soldiers at Keating that then fled. There's a funny moment in the movie where the Latvian instructor yells after them, asking why the Hell they're running away and not fighting for their country. Always stuck with me after watching this movie, because Latvian soldiers have a natural tendency to be extremely pissed about cowardice like that.

HR McMaster has an outstanding book called Battlegrounds. He watched in real time as DC and the Pentagon went from utopian optimism about Afghanistan to fatalistic and its very clear that they just didn't know what they were doing.

Why, for the love of Giga Christ, didn’t NATO restore the monarchy? As a Canuck I will never get it. Was the US so ground-level opposed to kings that they just threw out the idea? I get King Mohammed Zahir Shah was pretty damn old, but he had a fucking awesome reputation and House Barakzai was chalk full of well regarded scions.
