I just watched the banner of my father and then I look back on the midfield battle of Billy Lynn I watched before, which is quite similar.
There is a line in the film, roughly speaking, the flag belongs to the whole camp, so I don't want to give it to a politician to hang at home, and replace the flag on it for me.
Soldiers on the battlefield probably only think about how to survive and win the war. No one thinks about how to make a name for themselves when their lives are threatened.
Many ethnic minorities fought for their country in the war, but even heroes were discriminated against, and Indians who were obviously more American than Americans were driven to remote places.
I will read Iwo Jima's letter tomorrow, and look at both sides of the same war, hoping to better understand the war.
