The position makes some people become famous and live, and also makes some people become monsters, and then always be monsters. And not so long ago, everyone was different in form, but originally there was no difference.
The so-called stand will be destined to bring temporary glory to some people, and permanent wounds to many others. For most people, war isn't a hell of a zero-sum game at all, it's just a win or lose.
And the really cruel thing about this so-called position game is that most of the time you don't choose it, it chooses you, and you still naively think that everything is your personal will.
To a large extent, the so-called position of the 20,000 officers and soldiers on the island determines that they cannot leave the island alive. Their position determines that they have the responsibility to defend their sacred territory, and their fate has been doomed earlier.
This is the road chosen by the times for each of them. There is no fork in the road, there is no turning back, only the end.
This is the cruelty of the so-called position and the cruelty of the so-called war.
