"Restrepo" did a great job of humanizing American soldiers. The film brought viewers to the front line with the soldiers. The viewers could witness the hardships that the soldiers were going through. I feel that it is a great film for understanding the trauma that happens in war. Here is a clip from the film that demonstrates the intense situations American soldiers go through.

There were difficult parts of the film to watch. There is a scene where American fire had injured and killed some civilians including some young children. I feel this just continued the theme of the tragedy of war. Out of all of the men in this film, I would like to talk with Captain Dan Kearny. He was leading the operations in the film. I would like to ask him about how he deals with the tragedies that he witnessed. Also, I would like to hear what he thinks should be done to treat veterans coming home. I feel it would provide great insight into the minds of returning veterans.
