Defense of cruelty

I watched a lot of movies about the Vietnam War. I think they are all good.
What impressed me the most in this movie was the description of the psychological causes before some brutal acts. Especially when killing Vietnamese women on the tracks. It is estimated that only Sean Penn can perform such a wonderful performance. The harshness, hesitation, timidity and stubbornness of his role are vividly performed by him.
Regarding the war, I have no irritating thoughts. I don’t want to think too much. People are always doing wrong things. I can’t worry about everything. The cruelty of the result does not represent the cruelty of the incident.
