BBC – 2nd Platoon: Still Fighting

In 2007, an intense struggle was taking place in one of the most violent areas of Iraq and the US Army was fully engaged.

BBC correspondent Mark Urban and cameraman Mark McCauley watched them fight for their lives. More than a decade later, they wanted to look at the effects of the Iraq war on those they’d met. This is a story about how war changes people, why they go, how it binds them, and how life afterwards is never quite the same.
