It was weird how it was just a sampling of a few days of those soldiers lives. Not really any kind of cohesive story til the end.

I guess that was for several reasons, maybe because it was only 2004 and not that much has changed. However, I think it was more a case of just showing the most dangerous job in the world.
I also know from firsthand, when I was 20 and was in the army and was overseas in Korea, and I didn't even have anyone trying to blow me up, I never really thought much further than tomorrow. We were all just here for the moment. Which was kind of the way the sergeant thought, he didn't want to take family and life seriously, he just wanted to live more for the moment. He couldn't even call his wife on the phone, and when faced with returning to the world, he chose another tour of Iraq.
