The main idea was that they honor and respect their fallen comrades. They also did things to commemorate their friends like write letters to the families of the men who died, or celebrate birthdays.
1.I think that it brought the book to life when the American soldiers in afganistan were going into enemy territory and the enemy had the advantage.
2. When the hummer hits a land mine and they have to get out and fight that reminded of when Jenkins stepped on a mine.
3. When one of the soldiers was breaking down because one of his close friends died it reminded me of when Johnson cannot accept the death of brew.
4. The soldiers still had some fun when they weren’t fighting, like in fallen angels peewee and perry play checkers and in afganistan the soldiers are playing PS3.
5. In both stories the soldiers have to deal with locals who are probably related to the enemy, and sometimes betray them. Like when the GI is killed by the kid was blown up by his mother when he was holding a mine.
6. In both stories the men are praying, in fallen angels its brew and in restrepo they have a silent praying time before they go into battle or go onto a patrol.
7. In both they celebrate their dead friends. In fallen angels they celebrate brew’s birthday by getting a cake from the chef and eating in the hooch. In restrepo they shoot of flares and talk about their dead comrades.
8. In both of the stories they sleep and live in hooches like in fallen angels.
9. In the war in afganistan the soldiers never forget about their families like one soldier calls his parents and his wife before he goes on patrol. In fallen angels they write letters back to their families and tlak to them.
10. In both they do special things for their friends that die. Like in fallen angels they celebrate peoples birthdays and send home letters to their families. In restrepo they named their base restrepo in honor of their fallen comrades.
