Stoppage	06 Sep 2018 5:45 p.m. PST
9th Company. Believable. The Beast. Riseable.
Bobgnar	06 Sep 2018 8:22 p.m. PST
I have always liked "The Beast" Sometimes called "The Beast of War" Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. Out of time, become heroes. "Afghan Breakdown" is also quite good from Russian perspective Has anyone seen "12 Strong"
Mad Guru	17 Sep 2018 9:41 p.m. PST
"The Beast." Also "The Man Who Would Be King." Restrepo is great, but a bit different since it's a documentary.
Old Contemptibles	18 Sep 2018 12:06 p.m. PST
1. "The Man Who Would Be King" 2. "The Beast"
