Anti-war movies that should not be buried, I give 5 stars

It is also one of the best anti-war films, with a unique perspective and tear-jerking. The most special feature of this movie is that it not only describes the physical and mental harm of war to the soldiers themselves, but also not only talks about the harm of war to civilians in general, but focuses on the harm of war to the families of soldiers and soldiers who participated in the war. This small detail was notified only through casualties. In addition, although the leading actor and supporting actor in the film do logistics in the rear, they also suffer a huge secondary mental injury again. This angle has never been seen before, and it gives people a very real touch. More anti-war than "The Hurt Locker".

Captain Tony Stone: You gotta wake the fuck up! You're not in high school, you're not in a fuckin' rock band, you're in the Army.
Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery: Yeah, I know. I know I'm in the Army. I gave blood to the Army. I got blown up in a fire-fight that lasted longer than your entire war. I didn't sunbath in Kuwait with the rest of the POGs.
