Politics and Human Nature

It's not the first time this trade-off question has come up on the screen, but it's never been debated so readily on a table.
In this era of "revolutions are now fuelled by postings on YouTube", the victory of the "propaganda war" seems increasingly important, whether the parents of the little girl will become the "fanatics" he once called because of her death. I know, if so, will it save 80 people or push more people into the fire pit? This makes the "minimize collateral damage" around the center of the film even more ironic.
I have always thought of the military, and I wish I could drive out the bad guys and kill ASAP, but I am very happy to be persuaded and moved by the firmness of the female consultant in this film, and what I can learn is a good film.

    "Online video is the best catalyst for the revolution." With the tension of "Escape from Tehran", the documentary feeling of "The Hunt for Osama bin Laden", and the reflection of "Landmine Field", there are not many scenes but good drama.

    Purely from the level of screenwriting skills, this film is very well done, without any problems, with a few simple groups of characters, a few scenes, and the storytelling is compact and vivid, which is heart-wrenching!
