Whether it's a crowd impassively watching a soccer field execution in pre-9/11 Afghanistan or a group of American soldiers throwing everything they have at a sniper (bullets, grenades, tank shells, air-to-ground missiles) for six hours - only to watch him escape on a bike - Filkins confronts the absurdity of war head...
