Rougle and Doc Restrepo. You see their face alive several times in the film and then they are just gone. You feel their death and their soul through this film and its all about survival with your buddies. Sgt. Rougle is a Scout Leader who really isn’t part of the films main focus of 2nd Platoon of Outpost Restrepo, he just joins them on a mission called “Rock Avalanche”. But you see his face as they are gearing up for the mission.

When you research about Sgt. Rougle, its then that you connect with him and his family. He knew he wasn’t going to survive another tour in Afghanistan. That’s what’s so sad about it all. Also the fact that Doc Restrepo is such a happy face in the beginning of the film on the train. I got real involved in this emotionally and spiritually. Lonnie
