Junger smartly lets each individual be himself. Korengal seeks understanding, not judgment.
Junger has emerged with a worthy companion piece in Korengal, a less harrowing, more reflective dispatch from the front lines, and an equally vital examination of the strange crucible of selflessness, courage, bloodlust, rage, confusion and fear endured by the brave men interviewed here.
An intense and affecting report on the experiences of U.S. troops in one of the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan.
Korengal isn’t a profound portrait of people fighting for our freedom, but a modest look at the human engine of the military-industrial complex.
“Restrepo” felt like the story of how boys become men. Korengal feels like the story of how strangers become family.
It’s absorbing to a point, but adds little to what’s gone before.
The result is an alternately gripping and dully meandering patchwork of these soldiers' stay in the Korengal that pointedly shuns big-picture philosophizing.
