Unable to sleep, I swipe the POL again. The modern military movie top3 in my mind (the other two are the pot cover and the blood diamond)
The 30-minute assault on the small village at the end of the film can almost be enjoyed as a reference book. It flashes from the briefing, but if you press the pause, you can see the map clearly written with the radio call sign. Every detail is worthy of scrutiny and rich. Inspiring value.....
So what are the details I want to talk about?
When Russell Crowe picked up the helicopter in the preparation room, he asked his old partner, "Can you get a helicopter with seven people?"
But when Russell Crowe's old partner arrived at the helicopter first during the evacuation, the partner said very loudly and clearly to the helicopter pilot, "5", which means that the pilot will not take off until he counts up to five people on the plane. Who are these five people? One partner has one, and the partner has three subordinates, the Italian banker that his team wants to save.
Russell Crowe and the engineer he was trying to save were not counted at all.
Although the old partner took the initiative to join forces with Russell, and even called in the old men he had trained, it seemed that the entire operation was centered on Russell's plan. But until the start of the operation, there was not much to talk about Italian bankers. This operation was actually started by the partners to rescue the bankers. The salary, weapons, helicopters and pilots of the old subordinates were recruited... all. It's not that the engineer who can't pay for more than a cent can be reimbursed, but for the entire KnR industry, Russell Crowe is even more of an Awol who left the company's project privately (if you don't go online to go rogue). Therefore, he and the engineer are the free riders, and even if these two people are missing during the evacuation, it will not affect the judgment of the action result for the old partner. The old partner has his own team, the banker has been rescued to gain fame and get the start-up capital, and Russell Crowe, who is a factor of instability, and the engineers abandoned by all the big companies are insignificant. Besides, the transport helicopter without the cover of the armed helicopter is a very conspicuous and fragile target in the exchange of fire. Waiting every second is taking unnecessary risks for the old partner, so "5".
This is the reality of the mercenary industry, because you have dealt with enough bad people and seen enough bad things, so you know that the safest principle is to assume that everyone except yourself is unreliable. cooperate? Unless you are a natural optimist, it is best not to cooperate with people on life-critical matters.
As for alone, there are many things that can't be done at all, what should I do? That's another topic.
