Army-the truth

I accidentally saw this film on HBO over the weekend. After watching it, I felt a lot. About my father, about rights, about the army, about honor, and about everything reflected in the film, it was shocking! In a world where no one asks or tells it, the military is the place where the truth can be concealed most. Yes, military courts, military sanctions, all the places that make people feel that they are not restricted by rights, are sacred but with some cruelty behind them, which is a bit unbearable, but also very heartache. . The general loves his daughter, but he loves himself and his rights more, and he admires Campbell very much. . She had the courage to support her to punish her father at the expense of herself. It was a bit cruel, but she had no choice. . Why is she so obsessed with her own cognition? . Ask to admit that something has happened. . .

[Colonel Fowler asks Brenner for a favor in his investigation]
Col. George Fowler: Mr. Brenner. I understand you have special arrest powers.
Brenner: Yes, sir.
Col. George Fowler: But I'm going to ask before you arrest anyone, you notify me.
Brenner: Why is that, sir?
Col. George Fowler: We don't like our personnel being arrested by outside people without our knowing about it. There are three ways of doing things - The right way, the wrong way, and the Army way. See that in doing it your way, Mr. Brenner, you don't forget about the Army way.

[Sunhill and Brenner watch a tape of one of Elisabeth Campbell's teachings]
Capt. Elisabeth Campbell: [the tape plays] Our job here at Psy Ops is to panic the enemy, to blunt his will to fight. A Psy Operator must know the customs and habits of the enemy, the current dissensions, anxieties, and fears to determine vulnerability. To engage the enemy, you must know the enemy inside out. You must fill him with fear, and not just fear of dying. Fear of grotesque wounds is much more terrifying.
Sunhill: [Sunhill stops the tape] Ugh. Grotesque wounds.
Brenner: [Brenner smiles] I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
