Also, I was surprised at the beat-up look of some of the firearms in Restrepo. I know these guys were deployed in that valley for 15 months and all, but damn. I wonder if there is any info or a book or something on the longevity of equipment used by Coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I can't speak for Iraq but the talcum dust in Afghanistan will definately fuck them up. I carried my Browning in an open holster while I was over there and it was definately not in the same condition when I turned it in as it was when I got it! I know our LAV feet has taken quite a beating over the last 8 years.
