Going To War (2018) Documentary

I just discovered this excellent documentary. I think you should be able to watch it for free on the PBS.org site HERE

What is it really like to go to war? Filled with terror, pain and grief, it also brings exhilaration, and a profound sense of purpose. In Going to War, renowned authors Karl Marlantes and Sebastian Junger help us make sense of this paradox and get to the heart of what it’s like to be a soldier at war. Veterans of various conflicts reveal some universal truths of combat with unflinching candor.

Sebastian Junger is good. I could not watch this show without joining PBS but I am sure it is good. I saw one of his other films about the same subject called “Restrepo”. He has also done speeches on the subject that are pretty good. Here is a Ted talk on Restrepo.
