A new documentary film which shows US Marines getting high and playing with sex dolls during a tour of Afghanistan is seeking to challenge Americans' view of soldiers as heroes.

Combat Obscura was filmed in Helmand Province between 2011 and 2012 by former lance corporal Mike Lagoze.

He used government cameras to film the men as they behaved questionably after capturing shots that the government wanted to use as publicity.

A spokesman for the Marine Corps gave a lengthy statement condemning the actions of the men in the film and the film itself.

'The behavior and actions depicted in this film do not live up to the high standards we expect of our Marines and do not represent the experience or attitudes of the vast majority of Marines who deployed and served with honor and distinction in Afghanistan.

'The actions depicted in the film of these few betrayed the trust and safety of their fellow Marines; they selfishly put their own self-interests over their unit, and by doing so put their entire team at risk,' it said in part.

It said the Corps tried to contact Lagoze and his team but that he ignored them.
