      This is great to watch, to see what the human body can endure. The NFL is child's play compared to what these men exert in combat. They use 3x the electrolytes in a given day compared to their adversary that is probably a whole 130 lbs heavier. The diarrhea is from dehydration, it is common because they exert themselves through every challenge.

      Youre kinda right? Afghanistan does not have an offensive support from American ground troops. All remaining 12000 troops (Which is a vastly smaller number now than at the time of this documentary) are held up in large bases much more fortified than what you see in here. The Americans there today are really there for base protection and coordinating with the Afghan govt/military. Much logistical support is still be supplied to the Afghan govt (in the form of $$$). But overall the only Americans that are going about are SF.

    It takes GUTS to enter a war zone unarmed. Thank you for showing the world what the front lines look like. Semper FI Marines!

      So going to convey what our friend failed to say,
      Marines are a department of the Navy, therefore they get "hand me downs" and not as much funding (i.e what's the point in having two "Armies") its slighty shown in when they don't have shit bags and adequate ammounts of cots. Same with equipment, still useing Hueys, Apaches, etc. However Marines are known to be far more aggressive/trained than regular Army, hence "coming in first".
