Review of The Forgotten Battalion

This documentary while informative, and highlights the struggles that a lot of us, 2/7 Marines face daily. The trailer was somewhat misleading as it appeared that the suicide epidemic in our unit would be discussed in depth which it was not. Our units fallen was not discussed at much length either, the reason why so many of us struggle was not emphasized enough as to why or unit has a 4 times higher suicide rate than any other in the Marine Corps. What about the members that went off to create non-profits such as Team Rubicon, which was started from fellow brothers in 2/7 Jake Wood, who created it in memory of Clay Hunt. What about the two New York Times articles that were written about our unit, which could have provided a lot more connections, interviews and stories to make a more indepth video. While this was a very amazing film to see, I would have like to see some men from Echo, Fox or Weapons in a 'updated edition', in a few years. Even though they mention in the film, that he reached out to hundreds, myself and a decent size group from Colorado and some from Texas have not heard a single word until we saw the trailer.
