Watching “Restrepo” and reading the book “Fallen Angels” taught me a lot about war. It showed me its true grit, but it also showed me how it could closely resemble modern day life in America. I learned its true grit while seeing/reading about death in combat, and how scarred soldiers were when they lost a man. At the top of the hill during “Restrepo” when a man was killed, his fellow soldiers tears gave me a sense of guilt, knowing he died protecting us civilians. These stories also showed me how normal war life can be. In “Restrepo” when one of the soldiers turned music on and they were all dancing and laughing, this is probably something they would do back home. Also, when one of the soldiers was playing guitar, it was basically a setting back in America with soldiers talking about whatever was on there mind, as conversation was in “Fallen Angels”.
