Customer Ratings & Reviews

My last post in the Army was as a Trainer of Guard & Reserve Units and the 45th was part of my territory. Of the 3 Brigades I worked with, the 45th was definitely the most professional and the group that took their duties as "Citizen Soldiers" the most seriously. I was happy to see them deploy, fight effectively and return with the honor that they did. I think I cried just as hard at their losses as I did for those I lost from active service. This wasn't intentionally designed to be a documentary of their time in Afghanistan, but it was pieced together perfectly. My only wish was that it could have been longer! I'm so proud to have had the chance to have worked with these amazing Troops!

This is a documentary showing Oklahoma National Guard soldiers in action in Afghanistan. It's real and very moving. I would recommend it to everyone so that they can see a little bit of what our soldiers go through. There are also several other shorter documentaries included as bonus features: the Guard responding to domestic disasters like Katrina and the big hurricane & also one on the Oklahoma City bombing.

As a Retired Combat Soldier, You can NEVER go against the opinion, or the view thru the Eyes of another Combat Soldier. EVER. A Combat Soldier, Will Forever be placed in a Human category all His/Her own. Their Heart will Never be the same. The Only Ones They will be able to get along with Properly is their own kind. That's all I want to say about it.... Kurzyniec, Eric M. SFC US ARMY RANGER (RET) 13F48L7 "SPARTAN 9"

This dvd tells one heck of a story! I wore the uniform i would stand or die next to the National Guard citizen soldier.Trapped on the high ground to observe the enemy knowing their position offered very little exit and possible death,some didnt make it!For me it was very close to home.these r NOT weekend warriors. highly recommended.

Meaning, the facet that makes it ownership worthy is worth it. A different type of Movie, unique but there is a Cool component to this Movie and I liked it, chicks would like it, see what I mean guys :)

This movie had both interesting points and poor so my rating will have to be "fair". It is definitely worth the entertainment value in the reduced price rack so I am very happy with the purchase.

I hadn't read anything on this real life story. It brought back memories of my time in the 1st Gulf War. War is real. Death is even more real when it is a close member of your team.

CITIZEN SOLDIER IS AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENTORY DRAMA THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN EVEN GREATER APPRECIATION AND RESPECT FOR THE U.S.A. MILITARY.

This movie brings a fresh, heartfelt perspective to our current war on terror. WARNING: Plan to cry with and for our brave soldiers.

Great action scenery of Guards in action in Afghanistan. Must see...superb footage of our great soldiers in action! Well done DVD!

Great documentary following a National Guard unit through part of a tour of Afghanistan. Compelling story, well produced disc.

Everyone should watch this movie, then you will really appreciate what our servicemen (and women) do for us!

true to life ,shot on location under hostile fire. you feel like you really know these troopers personally.

Highly recommend viewing this movie to see what our total force team (the Guard in this case) goes through.
