The most valuable movie I watched in half a year

I was really bored before looking for an old movie to watch. World War II movies are an old-fashioned field, but when a man’s adrenal glands are not excited for a long time, my experience is to look at the old World War II movies to get a certain adjustment. With this mentality, I found this movie, and planned to start browsing this movie with a vision that is not new but can increase my understanding of World War II.
The beginning of the film was unremarkable. A plane landed and a crew member was lifted out. The remaining uninjured crew members were in distress on the side of the plane. Fortunately, their brigade captain loved them very much, and he did not hesitate to protect them from making things difficult for them when making a combat report. Indeed, these pilots who have fought for three days are fortunate enough to be able to fly back. The most important thing now is not a combat report, but to let them rest and let them recover from the trauma of their hearts as soon as possible.
But they didn't have time to breathe. Soon after completing this mission, they received a new order to enter France at a low altitude of 9,000 feet the next day for bombing. The captain, who loves soldiers like a child, thought he had given the wrong order, because not only did his team members need to rest, but the height was within the direct range of the anti-aircraft artillery, "this is tantamount to suicide." Relying on his good relationship with Brigadier General Frank, he went directly to the Brigadier General's office to negotiate.
This Frank, from the first minute he appeared on the camera, he became my teacher. And in the future, I will definitely have many opportunities. In the process of starting my own life and career, advancing work, and leading the team, the image of this teacher will definitely occupy my mind. I heard that when Roosevelt encountered a problem during World War II and did not know how to deal with it, he would walk to the oil painting hall, look at the Lincoln portrait there and ask himself: "If Lincoln encountered such a problem, what would he do?" Now I have found a person like this, and this person is Frank.
