00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel.
00:02In this video, I will explain the kill team's true story, so, let's begin.
00:06Amid the war-torn Kandahar province of Afghanistan in 2009, Private Andrew Brighman was deployed
00:11to the International Security Assistance Force.
00:14His commanding officer is killed by an improvised explosive device, IED, and Staff Sergeant
00:19Deeks takes charge.
00:21The kill team tells the tale of Brighman as he witnesses his unit's morale and conduct
00:25shifting but he grapples with the conflicting principles embraced by his fellow soldiers.
00:29The movie, directed by Dan Krause, portrays soldiers who, under their new sergeant's influence,
00:34commit murders of innocent civilians.
00:37Fueled by hatred and a belief that all Afghans are involved in hostilities against American
00:41troops, they veer down a morally wrong path in pursuit of what they perceive as justice.
00:46Nat Wolf plays Andrew Brighman, a conflicted character and the proud son of a veteran and
00:50Alexander Skarsgard takes on the role of the vengeful Sergeant Deeks.
00:54Considering the film's proximity to the Afghan war, one might question if it draws inspiration
00:59from true events during that tumultuous period.
01:02The film is based on real events.
01:04Dan Krause, who wrote and directed the film, previously made a documentary with the same
01:08title in 2013, which covered the actual events that took place.
01:13In 2010, reports emerged that certain soldiers had been involved in the murder of innocent
01:17civilians between January and May 2010 during the Afghan war.
01:22While the film fictionalizes some character names and specific events, the overarching
01:26story is grounded in reality.
01:28A group of soldiers, who referred to themselves as the A-Kill Team, included members like
01:32Jeremy Morlock, Andrew Holmes, and Adam C. Winfield, led by Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs,
01:38who was 25 years old at the time.
01:40According to later reports from the men he served with, Gibbs allegedly told them that
01:44they could avoid punishment for killing Afghans if they placed weapons near the bodies of
01:48those they killed.
01:49Over four months, they were responsible for the deaths of at least three innocent individuals
01:53and they even mutilated their bodies, keeping some of their body parts such as their fingers
01:57as trophies.
01:58Generally, they would set off an explosive, then proceed to shoot a civilian and when
02:02an investigation would ensue, they would blame the civilian for setting off the bomb and
02:06justify their action as self-defense.
02:09Not all the soldiers of the team agreed with this sentiment, and one of them was 20-year-old
02:13Adam Winfield.
02:14He confided in his father about what was happening.
02:17When Winfield's father, who had served in the military himself, raised his concerns,
02:22they were dismissed and not taken seriously.
02:25After the complaint reached Gibbs's ears, he attempted to identify and confront the
02:28whistleblower.
02:30When he discovered that it was Winfield, he threatened his life and demanded his silence.
02:35Winfield's horror had escalated to the point that he even participated in the murder of
02:38a clergyman under coercion.
02:41Private Justin Stoner filed another complaint, but it wasn't related to the killings.
02:45Instead, he reported that some soldiers were smoking hashish in his room.
02:50When Gibbs learned of this complaint, he, along with six other soldiers, brutally assaulted
02:54Stoner.
02:55As a medic attended to Stoner's injuries, they reported the incident to the investigators.
03:00Stoner ended up revealing everything to them, including the shocking detail that Gibbs had
03:04kept fingers from the civilians he had murdered in the Maywan district of Kandahar.
03:08The film effectively captures the harsh reality of war, offering an unflinching look at life
03:13in a combat zone.
03:15It doesn't shy away from portraying the soldiers' lives beyond active warfare, depicting scenes
03:19of drinking, barbecues, and hashish use.
03:22From early on, the film establishes the sense of betrayal within the war, creating tension
03:26as Gibbs relentlessly seeks out the soldier who reported him.
03:30This tension remains throughout the film until the soldiers ultimately face legal consequences
03:34for their actions.
03:36With outstanding performances from not only the lead actors but also notably Adam Long
03:40and Jonathan Whitesell, the film authentically depicts the grim realities of war.
03:44Twelve military soldiers faced a range of charges, from murder to various forms of misconduct,
03:49including attempting to conceal a murder and engaging in drug abuse.
03:53Gibbs, convicted by a military jury, received a life sentence with the possibility of parole
03:57after 10 years.
03:59He was also demoted to the rank of private, had to forfeit all pay and allowances, and
04:04received a dishonorable discharge.
04:06Jeremy Morlock admitted guilt on three counts of premeditated murder, leading to a 24-year
04:11prison sentence.
04:12Holmes pled guilty to unpremeditated murder and illegal drug use, resulting in a seven-year
04:17prison term but was released on parole in 2015.
04:20Adam Winfield, as part of a plea deal, confessed to involuntary manslaughter and illegal substance
04:25use, earning a three-year sentence and being released on parole in 2012.
04:29Stoner, who initiated the investigation, faced no charges and was honorably discharged in
04:342012.
04:36In conclusion, it's the directorial brilliance and the intricate storyline of the The Kill
04:40Team that immerse viewers in a stark reality.
04:43This film forces us to grapple with our own beliefs and moral compass.
04:47It compels us to engage in introspection, challenging our understanding of right and
04:51wrong, particularly in the most extreme circumstances.
04:55The film delves into the complex dynamics of camaraderie, morality, and the consequences
04:59of choices made in the fog of war, leaving audiences with lingering questions about human
05:03nature and the harrowing impact of conflict.
05:06That's all for now folks, I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks
