This is a thread for documentaries that portray leadership, weapons, tactics and techniques. Here's two great ones about the war in Afghanistan for starters: restrepothemovie.com/and the Danish film "Armadillo"

Armadillo is pretty amazing too. They actually have a scene where the troops kill several Taliban at very close range with grenades & rifles.

Another interesting one is "the Anderson Platoon" from the Vietnam War. Once you get past the grainy B&W footage, you will recognize some amazing calm under fire. The commanding officer, one of the first Black graduates of West Point went on to great success afterwards.

Restrepo is a must see. Haven't seen Armadillo though. Where can I pick it up?

Here's some blitzkrieg from the Sudan. It appears from this video that the South Sudanese have overwhelmed a Sudanese Army position using a mechanized assault. It looks like the defenders of this well armed position beat a hasty retreat (the ones that survived).
