What Happened To The Real Sgt. Deeks After The Kill Team

Given how The Kill Team is based on the true story of the Maywand District murders, it is hard not to wonder what happened to the real-life Sergeant Deeks, Calvin Gibbs. Unfolding from the perspective of a young army recruit, Andrew Briggman (Nat Wolff), director Dan Krauss’ The Kill Team explores the moral dilemmas he faces when he finds his platoon, under Sergeant Deeks’ (played by Alexander Skarsgård) command, is murdering innocent civilians in Afghanistan. Since The Kill Team follows the true story of the Maywand District murders, it gives a chilling depiction of the thrill killings the central US Army soldiers were held responsible for.
