Restrepo

[MT2008]

Hold up one second..."Restrepo" is the documentary version of the book "War" by Sebastian Junger. It's a great book (I happen to be reading it now), and I'm sure the film is just as good, but the problem is that documentaries are outside the scope of IMFDB. We cover weapons in fiction, not documentaries.

Then shouldn't the Mail Call and Future Weapons articles be deleted?

Technically, yes. But they were also made before we decided that documentaries were not permissible and cracked down on them. We were in the awkward position of deciding whether pages that had taken lots of work to finish (i.e. both of those) should be deleted given the hard work that went into them. So those two have endured only due to our indecisiveness on the matter.

But any others, we shoot 'em down at takeoff.
