A fierce battle took place at Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan where U.S. soldiers fought against a large force of Taliban fighters.
Jake Tapper published the non-fiction book 'The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor' detailing the events and soldiers involved in the Battle of Kamdesh.
The film 'The Outpost', based on the 2012 book by Jake Tapper, was released depicting the Battle of Kamdesh and the soldiers' valor during the event.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
