Default "Restrepo" documentary

So it's based on the book WAR by Sebastian Junger which was an excellent book. It was the first military book i have ever read where the civilian truly seemed to understand what a soldier goes through during war. So with this book came the documentary, basically it followed a US platoon in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan for there 15 month deployment. i thought they would ruin the documentary but they did so well. Got right into the soldiers heads and showed the full raw emotion of what its like to be at war during the good times and the bad. It's not really about Afghanistan so much, more about what its like to be in conflict. If you are thinking of watching it don't watch the version that is going to be on the discovery channel, it has been cut heaps and is only rated MA. the full doco is rated R. has anyone else seen this Doco? what are your thoughts?
