4.0 out of 5 starsNothing has changed, so the story is still relevant
By Steve Ramm TOP 100 REVIEWER on January 22, 2010
This is the Frontline show that aired on October 13, 2009. The US was in Afghanistan trying to protect the Afghan people. It consists mainly of video captured by a photographer who was embedded with ECHO company during their three week encampment in July 2009. Not much had changed in the war between July and October and, as of this writing, nothing has changed since. Sadly, this makes this show just as, or even more, relevant. The producers interview all the higher-ups in the military (and none of the politicians) about the counter-insurgency plan in Afghanistan.

There are no bonus features but you are sent to the PBS web site for more info. This DVD might have benefited by some additional info defining "counter insurgency" and other war terms so it could be used in schools. It is noted at the beginning that there is strong language and images. Because the footage of the troops in the trenches is not edited, you will obviously hear the F-word a lot. This is to be expected.

Frontline has always done quality productions and this is another fine example. Maybe some day the subject of this video will be past history; for now it is "current events".

4.0 out of 5 starsobamas war
By C. williamson on May 5, 2010
Verified Purchase
i really bought this after seeing the special on the internet, because this was filmed with my son's Marine unit- right where he was at. although, we never see him in the documentary, it is something i wanted to have to show his kids someday, of what an important job the Marines did in the summer of 2009. i thought the documentary was put together exceptionally well,the reporters just did a superb job of honest reporting- i only wished they would have shown a little more footage from the field; but it still was just an incredible documentary. this is a big piece of history, and definitely worth seeing/owning.

5.0 out of 5 starsHighly recommended, especially for public library documentary collections
By Midwest Book Review on February 11, 2010
This PBS DVDs preserves a memorable episode from their award-winning Frontline documentary series. "Obama's War" is an eye-opening look at the modern-day struggle in Afghanistan and Pakistan - tens of thousands of American troops, led by a new commander and following a counter-insurgency plan built from experience in Iraq, put their lives on the line in a difficult and costly struggle. Featuring interviews with top U.S. commanders on the ground, embeds with U.S. forces, and reporting from Washington, "Obama's War" scrutinizes America's overall strategy - as well as providing a vivid picture of the lives of those who proudly serve their country. As the war in Afghanistan portends to be longer and more costly than any imagined, "Obama's War" is a gripping update on cold, hard reality (note that some footage may not be appropriate for all viewers - individual discretion (or parental guidance in the case of minors) is advised. Highly recommended, especially for public library documentary collections. 60 minutes.

1.0 out of 5 starsRip. Seth
By jamie dolan on January 19, 2015
Please note that what you see in this is very real. LCP Seth Sharp was my husbands best friend. They were inseparable. Watching this haunts me every day of my life.
We miss him every day. Here we are almost 6 years later and the feeling is still fresh.
We love you Seth. We can't wait to see you again.
