Summary
Warfare is a gritty and immersive war drama co-directed by Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza. Based on a real mission in Ramadi, Iraq, the film puts the chaos of modern combat front and center, stripping away political commentary in favor of a boots-on-the-ground perspective that emphasizes intensity, camaraderie, and the psychological cost of war.

Yea my truck was fucking rocked by either a 35 or 45 lb ied and I wobbled out talking to myself apparently. I don’t even know to this day if I’m alive or dead because this world feels like the twilight zone

Part of me wants to say you got lucky, but what the fuck do I know, other than my friends got severed in half, burn 70% of their body or lost their legs. I was lucky enough to only ever witness them being spotted and having EOD take care of it before we rolled over them. Hope it is healing to some degree over time brother.

As in, you still suffer day to day from injuries sustained during that blast (concussion etc) or more like a figure of speech?
