I did "4" tours in Afghan. That's four years.
My question is, why not speak with ONE soldier who was actually there?
The US Military NEVER...NEVER operated convertible Humvees in a freaking war zone in Afghanistan.
The interpreters were "embedded" with us! They were advised in advance...you sleep with us, you will NOT be allowed ANY comms while you serve with us. Yet, the interpreters were going home at night and living with their families. DID NOT happen.
The helicopters arrive and gather bodies and search for survivors. No comms with the air support? BS, the radios and GPS beacons would have been lit up. They would have immediately rescued the two survivors.
You want to make a film about what ACTUALLY happened and express the genuine loyalties and comradity we had with the interpretors? Fine, just do it right. Your laziness turned me off big time.
