Strong moral worldview of soldiers fighting for each other and wanting to make the right moral choices even in war with strong patriotic elements and some Christian, redemptive, biblical elements such as a couple mentions of “Thank God” and a character recites Psalm 23; 22 obscenities (including one “f” word), three profanities, and a man vomits; strong war violence with lots of shooting, some blood splatter after men are shot, a dead child is seen, a soldier is forced to shoot a young boy who has a gun; no sexual content; no nudity, but woman changes her shirt and is briefly seen in her bra; no alcohol consumption; no smoking or drug use; and, one soldier is too prejudiced against the locals, even against the ones who want to help the Americans.

More Detail:
In Episode 3 of THE LONG ROAD HOME, Troy Denomy (Jason Ritter) leads a convoy to rescue the ambushed soldiers trapped in Sadr, Iraq. The other trapped soldiers are running low on ammunition. They need to find a way to get their location to the rescue convoy. Everything goes from bad to worse when the rescue convoy led by Troy is also ambushed by the Islamic militants. With many soldiers separated and on their own, how many lives will be lost before they can safely be extracted from the city? Meanwhile, the wives at home begin to prepare for the worst.
Episode 3, titled “Into the Unknown,” ramps up the action, making it sometimes feel like BLACK HAWK DOWN. It becomes apparent that many of these men aren’t ready for such a conflict and that many lives will be lost. While more intense than the previous episode, “Into the Unknown” has more foul language and not as much faith content, requiring more caution for viewers. That said, the “Into the Unknown” episode is still highly patriotic and shows how many of the soldiers abhor the violence that war brings.
