The War in Afghanistan has raged for nineteen brutal years. America's longest running conflict is again front page news. Explosive revelations that the Taliban were paid bounties by the Russians to target American troops have rocked the political establishment. The Outpost, a gut-wrenching film about the war's bloodiest battle, couldn't have a more fitting release date. It is a stark reminder of the lives lost, and the heroes who've fought valiantly for their country. The film asks the most important questions. Are the sacrifices worth it? And why did we put our troops in a place that was impossible to defend?
The Outpost is adapted from CNN journalist Jake Tapper's 2012 novel. It begins in October of 2006 with Staff Sergeant Clint Romesha (Scott Eastwood) and his unit arriving at Pmt Kamdesh under cover of darkness. Nestled in a deep valley in the north of Afghanistan, Camp Kamdesh was nicknamed "Camp Custer" by the soldiers.
