I saw that, it is a sad story. I guess at least he died following his passion for reporting.

I saw it on the news and immediately watched the documentary

Watching the documentary was pretty intense

Makes you think how stupid it is that we are in Afganistan

It's total bs

Not sure what this comment means but Restrepo wasn't a political documentary. It's on Netflix right now if anyone is curious.

Holy crap. Terrible. Restrepo was one of the best documentaries I ever saw.
Much admiration for a talented man so committed to his profession.

Eh, I'd say that's reaching.

Regardless, anyone not familiar with Restrepo should check it out.

...as long as you know going in that you may have to pay the ultimate price, and are good with that.
