The best war movie

Since ancient times, every war, no matter how big or small, has harmed women differently. No war is not accompanied by atrocities against women. Rape, gang rape, and forced sexual services are no strangers to Chinese people. Chairman Mao once said that in this world, wars are divided into just wars and unjust wars. Fighting against Japan, the Soviet Union against Germany, and the United States against Japan are all just wars. After Japan surrendered, the atrocities of China, the United States and the Soviet Union against Japanese and German women can be interpreted as a kind of revenge. The subsequent war films have shown this countless times.
However, it is natural that almost all war films were shot by the victim. Japan's "Looking Home", Germany's "Berlin Woman", and victorious countries, such as China, the United States and the Soviet Union, prefer to show the deaths and injuries of their soldiers and the indomitable struggle for survival. The soldiers were forced to fight bravely and tenaciously in this ugly war. Revenge for the raped women of the country or the women of the victimized country. Japan has never made a movie reflecting the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese army. These atrocities have been explained by the perpetrating country for various reasons.
But there has never been a movie made by the perpetrating country. This film can be described as the only war film in the world that inflicts on the introspection of the country. From the perspective of an ordinary person, the cause, course and result of the brutality are described.
There is no doubt that this kind of introspection has laid the groundwork for the history of mankind. At the end of the First World War in the United States, the President said that we ended all wars with one war. But 20 years later, the Second World War broke out, followed by the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, the Kosovo War, the Second Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, and it is very likely that there will be an Iran war in the future. This is only the United States, and does not include the three Middle East wars in the Middle East, the Iran-Iraq War, the just-concluded Libya, the ongoing civil war in Syria, and countless civil wars in Africa every day.
Every war is accompanied by the cruelty to women, without exception. Women are tossed around like trophies. But only this film illustrates the connection between violence and sexual mutilation. While soldiers obeyed and killed each other unconditionally, they actually accepted to do anything unconditionally.
The protagonist said: "We cannot be allowed to do anything just because we may die at any time."
This sentence, accompanied by the current killing of 11 men, women, children and children in Afghanistan by the US military, explains everything. Why is not really important, what is important is how to always ask why
