Must See
Posted by Bill The Military Channel is featuring a documentary series called Alpha Company: Iraq Diary, and it is excellent: During the summer of 2005, filmmaker Gordon Forbes spent three months embedded with the U.S. Marines 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion during their deployment to the Sunni Triangle in Iraq. He documented the daily grind and struggles of the men in Alpha Company as they fought the War on Terror, thousands of miles away from home. While most networks send a crew to shoot only enough footage for a 90-second highlight piece, this three-part documentary covers several operations — from helicopter raids and mounted patrols to everyday interactions with the people of Iraq. The good, the bad, and the utterly realistic. Forbes' candid narration and clips capture the reality (albeit more than one year displaced) of Marines in the Fallujah AO much better than my blog coverage did. Highly recommended. UPDATE: I've just watched another episode, and I can't stress enough how excellent this series is. It's one of the best documentaries I've seen on the war.
