The US military is playing the role of foreign aggressors in Afghanistan. Afghans question why the US military is here? U.S. Captain Keating replied, "Our mission is to separate the Taliban from ordinary people, so that ordinary people will not fall into the flames of war. I can give you money and contracts, as well as projects. The premise is that you have to cooperate. There are two solutions. One is that you lay down your arms and, with the help of the United States and Allah, witness your tribe’s prosperity and growth. The other way is to tear your face and do it, "carrots and sticks", which is the consistent practice of the Americans. It seems to win the hearts of the people. These two things alone are not enough. The US military promised to provide locals with funding to build schools and hydropower stations, but there are additional conditions that must be separated from the Taliban. This one does not work. The Taliban and the tribe have a fish and water relationship. Being able to separate, even if the tribes are not so closely related, they are inextricably linked to the Taliban.

The U.S. military's method of disposing of their excrement is to pour gasoline on it and burn it, as if they did it during the Vietnam War. I don't know why.

The U.S. Army’s reconstruction team camp in Kamdaisi Province in northern Afghanistan was established in a remote valley completely surrounded by the Hindu Kush Mountains. It is surrounded by mountains higher than the camp. Weapons and long-range weapons. However, several light weapon attacks in a day are annoying enough, and they can also knock one down from time to time, just like a toad lying on its feet. It does not bite, but responds, but the Taliban will take a bite when they look at the opportunity. of. Therefore, the American soldiers in this camp suffered a lot. They were fully armed from morning to night, including eating, and kept their guns in their hands, ready to respond to sudden attacks. No, another one was hung up, this time it was Captain Keating. It was Captain Eliskas who succeeded Captain Keating. The officer was unlucky. He was killed in a bombing while crossing a bridge on a patrol. Yago, the soldier following him, was spared. But when the captain's brain splashed into his mouth, he was frightened. Almost committed suicide by shooting himself, he had to take a helicopter with the body of Captain Eliskas and rushed to the rear hospital.

Standing at the location where the Taliban had just attacked them, it’s clear to see the camp, "When the Taliban attacked on a large scale, they would first destroy the mortar positions, and then storm the standby trucks, armored Hummers, especially the long-range advanced reconnaissance vehicle No. 2, destroy the ammunition. Ku, lost supplies, then attacked the engine, destroyed the communication system, and then attacked from Panshan Road. Before the U.S. air support arrived, it broke into the barbed wire and split the U.S. army in two. Basically, the U.S. army was finished. Sergeant Luo used his perspective. It is chilling to outline an offensive road map for the Taliban raid camp. The US military is basically a passive target in such a camp, and lives with fear every day. This is a camp where you can only wait to die.

The newly arrived commander, Captain Broward, conveyed the order of the US military to close the outpost waiting to die in July. Before long, Broward was transferred. He should be the first commander to leave the camp alive. , Lieutenant Bond Mann temporarily took over command. The Taliban’s large-scale offensive allowed the Bond lieutenant to catch up. Although the U.S. military had prepared for a long time, the situation was beyond their imagination. Taliban soldiers equipped with heavy weapons such as mortars and bazookas were all over the mountains, and the encampment was bombed. The U.S. soldiers rushed to the battle. Watching the U.S. military fight this kind of encounter with Shaobodo, it was a scum, disordered, panicked, scrambled, and suffered heavy casualties. The gate was once breached, and the three barbed wire fences could not stop the enemy. Fortunately, the U.S. plane arrived in time to repel the Taliban and rescue the remaining U.S. soldiers in the camp. Twenty-seven people were injured and seven were killed. A dozen Afghan government soldiers were seriously injured. The next day the U.S. army completely razed the hapless broken place. However, the trauma of each living soldier's heart may never be healed, and the tragic scene of comrades falling one by one by their side remains in their hearts forever. The Kamdaisi outpost camp was evacuated in such a tragic manner, and it became a prelude and epitome of the entire U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

    Abandoning all non-battlefield content, it is indeed the most logical choice to focus on the raid before the final evacuation, but it will inevitably sacrifice characterization, and a longer miniseries would probably be very good. After watching the movie, I realized that my imagination was still too limited. I knew it was a valley, but visually seeing the cliffs that could not see the top was still shocking. The participation of real soldiers is really important for this type of film, especially the lines and character interactions at the beginning, which are very authentic and let people quickly enter the play, and the interview at the end is also very valuable.

    Nice, I don't know why the score is so low. The little brother who plays Carter is amazing.
