Restrepo – Movie Review
The Movie Restrepo follows the men of the Second Platoon, Battle Company of the 503rd infantry of the United States Army. The movie follows these men through their fifteen-month deployment in the Korengal valley, one of the deadliest places in the war, including daily fights with the enemy.
