Unintended star of ‘Restrepo’ returns to Afghanistan
In one scene of Sebastian Junger’s best-selling book “War,” then-Pvt. Misha Pemble-Belkin runs through sheets of gunfire to aid Spc. Carl Vandenberge, who is bleeding out after a bullet has severed the brachial artery in his left arm. Now Pemble-Belkin, 25 is back in Afghanistan as a sergeant and team leader with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Infantry Division.
