I do find the idea that showing up counts for a lot, quite romantic (in a good way). Even in the more dubious cases like Viktor Bout [0]. But for the most case it's not an area where I'd personally want to "show up" in. I'd much rather we semi-privatized disaster relief than war.
[0] That documentary with all the home footage is pretty cool, so is "bulletproof salesman".
Restrepo nor Armadillo really stuck with me. I'll admit I've seen way too many of these kinds of documentaries, even to the point of not being able to tell them apart. The PBS ones are quite good. Two that stands out of the top of my head is Blood and Dust and Bulletproof Salesman, the later being mostly about Iraq.
