But tonight, a new journey begins, and were along for the last patrol. Cross the valley. Reporter for nearly 20 ere lows of the war zone, from bosnia to afghanistan. Calling in the artillery.

Reporter what was that moment like . When we found that clip, it was heartbreaking and chilling. I felt incredibly guilty, maybe it should have been me instead of him.

If you could buy that at walmart, people would buy it. Reporter and they must dodge amtrak police. We were bathing in rivers, and cooking in the woods. Actively evading the police. Reporter he says soldiers miss something poignant. Its something they have in combat they cant get in soci y society. The powerful bonds of brotherhood. Reporter he first met brendan as a soldier i in restrepo. I watched people literally die for each other and i come back to a society that honks at me if i dont take a turn fast enough. Brendan always did what had to be done. Walking ahead so not everyone would have to walk it. He would run it and come back. Thats the brendan i remembered from afghanistan. Reporter hes now been sober for a year. Soldiers come back with a very unified experience. But were a very divided society, and i think its apalling the soldiers. Reporter in the film, all four are troubled by posttraumatic stress. I dont deal with death. Thats not a good thing for me to see, ever. It really triggered a reaction in brendan. And dave, he said if you really dont care if the dog got killed, is it if you have ptsd . Which is it . Reporter for the men on the last patrol, the journey is a way to finally move on. This long walk, do you think its helped make the transition from combat reporter to whatever you would call yourself now . Im here. And i think about it, i think, you know, why im here, and this happened, what can i do . Like, you know, its in your mind. You know, its, otherwise you go, and people dont remember. Makes you face your problems. Reporter and guillermo returned to the front lines in ukraine. But junger says hes truly done in combat. Making this a search for meaning outside the combat zone. Did this help you find meaning . I guess what youre asking, what it did do, allow me to construct something good out of something bad. A fitting tribute.
