Summary
Going to war is confusing, but it's nothing compared to coming home. **Academy Award** nominee Sebastian Junger, author of *The Perfect Storm*, accompanied two combat veterans and a photojournalist on a 300-mile walk along the railroad lines from Washington D.C. to Pittsburgh. Sleeping under bridges, bathing in rivers and dodging the police, they encounter a country they no longer feel a part of. Recreating the closeness of soldiers in combat, they reflect on the intoxication of war and how to bring vets home. *"In an era when documentaries about soldiers tend to focus on their injuries or mental illness, The Last Patrol opens wide a different vista that is moving and beautiful -- and abundantly life affirming."* - Nancy DeWolf Smith, **The Wall Street Journal**
