9th Company.

Just got done watching this. A Russian movie set during the Soviet Union era in Afghanistan. Kinda reminded me of a mix between Full Metal Jacket and Hamburger Hill.

The theme is a familiar one - but it is done very well indeed. Heartily recommended.

There is supposed to be a new Vietnam book coming out: Matterhorn which has been called the definitive Nam War Story. Anyone reading it?
