No women appear in this, other than those mentioned by the soldiers.

JohnnyW disagreed with the rating and said:
This movie is a documentary and is therefore exempt from the Bechdel Test (which is a critique of male dominance in Hollywood movies). In other words: The filmmakers did not make creative decisions that led to the film to fail the Bechdel Test. The fact of the matter is that there are no women fighting in Korengal Valley. That's more of a critique of the US Army than of Hollywood.

It's a documentary style movie about soldiers in Afghanistan. It is true that it does not pass the test.

We could easily change this by sending more women to the front lines.

This about reveals the absurdity of judging all movies by this test.
