Just when they think the Army can't screw with them any more, four U.S. Army Reservists are sent on a meaningless mission guarding a radio tower on a barren patch of desert in American-occupied Afghanistan.

Dying of boredom rather than enemy fire, the soldiers occupy themselves as best they can with pranks, poker, and occasionally shooting at each other.

The monotony is broken when the Air Force mistakenly air-drops a keg of beer and a bottle of whisky. With no supervision, no responsibilities, and all that beer to go to waste, the four Weekend Warriors build a bonfire, tap the keg, fill canteens and swap stories over an inebriated afternoon of booze, banter, and bonding.

But as night falls, the hard reality of war interrupts their drunken respite, as Afghani irregulars attack their station.

BOHICA is at once a recognition of the absurdity and futility of war and a celebration of the men and women who are compelled to fight it.
