The Sal Giunta Story from SebastianJunger/TimHetherington on Vimeo.
This is one of the soldiers in the Restrepo movie who received a medal of honor for his part in operation Avalanche. This is what true manhood is all about..courage and humility.RESTREPO is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, "Restrepo," named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military. This is an entirely experiential film: the cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 90-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.

Q: What did you think when you heard you were up for the Medal of Honor?
A: Fuck you.
That was one of the most real and yet toughest parts of that whole interview....
