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.

    The rhythm and perspective switching are very smooth, but the theme is as circuitous as the "Strategic Secret Service". That is "Anti-terrorism actually requires torture?" This is "How can missiles accidentally injure civilians?"-How new. Isn't the next step "killing people in war"? -"Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge" is coming.

    The little girl selling matches is a fairy tale, and the little girl selling cookies is a fable.

    Lt. General Frank Benson: I have attended the immediate aftermath of five suicide bombings, on the ground, with the bodies. What you witnessed today, with your coffee and your biscuits, is terrible. But what these men would have done would have been even more terrible.
