5 out of 5 stars Combat Diary: The Marines of Lima Company    December 20, 2008
Edward L. Engel Jr. (Ohio)
Has to be one of the best war documentaries I have ever watched. I have met a couple of the guys from Lima Company and they are Heroes to me. Must have for the war buff


5 out of 5 stars Great look at war    August 17, 2008
Ralph Race (Greendale, Indiana)
As a vet of the Iraq war I can say this is a very well made story of one unit and what they faced. War is not exciting, or pretty and this shows how it happens and the effects on those left at home.


5 out of 5 stars Brave Brave men ...    April 27, 2008
Christopher G. Johnson (Hattiesburg MS)
This is a very moving realistic DVD into the Iraq War ...all as I can say is I am deeply Humbled and in Awe of these Brave Brave men ,one day the Historians will write about this chapter in Americas quest to help the World be rid of Murderous Despots and then they will realise what Dedicated Professionals we are lucky to have protecting us.


4 out of 5 stars the cost of war    January 7, 2008
Roberto Pratico' (Italy)
This dvd helps making us think about the inevitable cost of any war.
Well assembled, it shows the hard fighting of USMC, surely in line with the highest standards of the Corps, even in a difficult war as the one in Iraq.


5 out of 5 stars Best OIF documentary    November 29, 2007

This is by far the best war documentary that covers the current conflicts. I am a Soldier with 2 tours in Iraq and I think this story is amazing. The actual Documentary itself was very well made and the whole thing is a tear fest. It is insane what these guys went through and I think every American should watch this film, these Marines of Lima CO are an inspiration for me. I am a Combat medic (the equivalent of a Corpsman) in the Army and for those of you that want to see the average experiences of the infantry in Iraq, this isn't average, this is the worst case scenerio.

Another film that is worth watching and I think shows the average experience of life in Iraq is Occupation: Dreamland, which follows the 82nd. Another one is Gunner Palace and it does reflect how a lot of support personnel are living in Iraq, yet the troops in it are an embarrassment to the Army. An amazing documentary that covers WW2 is The War by Ken Burns, nothing compares to it.
