Gentlemen,
Saw two excellent documentaries within the past couple of days. One of them is Restrepo which was already mentioned on PS in this thread:

Although I found no mention of another documentary that I thought was better than Restrepo: Armadillo.
Armadillo (2010) is a Danish documentary about the War in Afghanistan (2001–present). The film follows a group of young Danish soldiers who are on their first mission in Helmand Province. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010. It was awarded the Grand Prix de la Semaine de la Critique. (Wikipedia)
It was excellently done. Here is a trailer:

Note: The subtitles are bad because they are fan-made. There are several trailers without subtitles, if you prefer it. I watched the complete film with perfect English subtitles.
