Straight-up combat, unconventional combat – we will always win that. Foreign policy – I don’t make it, I just deliver the last 600 meters of it.

The two deadliest battles of the Iraq War occurred in 2004. The Battle of Najaf was fought in the South against the Shiite Mahdi militia. The Battle of Fallujah was fought in the West against Sunni insurgents. This film tells the story of these battles, not through narration, but through the words and deeds of those who fought there.
