A free country, the hometown of the brave

Veterans are said to be highly respected in the United States. You can enjoy better medical treatment, college grants, housing subsidies, and Veterans Memorial Day (that day, veterans who have fought in various wars marched and displayed weapons in turn). Speaking of veterans, nothing is better than the five-star General MacArthur said: "Veterans never die, they just die with the wind." But strength envelops fragility. "The Banner of the Fathers" allows us to see that "the generation with the most American soldier temperament" will hesitate in the face of death and indifference. But Gen Y did not even have the applause that the World War II generation could get.

The young white man said to the white woman: "Looking at the landing in Normandy, people erected monuments there, calling American soldiers Liberators, and they still admire them for fifty years. When we return to Iraq fifty years later, what will they think of us? Liberation? Who?"

Not to mention them, after all, they are enemies. But what about the natives? There are no nurses or flowers to kiss, and even the sloppy flowers and children are gone. The Vietnam War generation can achieve balance by despising the flowers, "a group of deserters". When the president was elected, it was discovered that among the elite candidates for president, only McCann had been on the battlefield. But now, indifferent. People are eating popcorn and watching a little chicken movie. Except for a kid wearing "Buck Fush", no one cares about them. The only way to gain self-esteem may depend on the price of gasoline, "oil prices are cheap because of us."

In the Korean battlefield, people called American soldiers "young soldiers." The German generals were amazed when they saw that the seized spoils contained gum. The demon that the soldiers recounted repeatedly: "Such a young child attacked us." "Four people died in front of me, and I can't do anything." "I don't belong here anymore." If the veterans who were invaded by China heard about it, they would despair to death. But it is precisely because of these ordinary American soldiers that the "last and greatest hope" has been achieved. Because they are not war machines, they push on others as soon as they are done. "They are all bastards of the military" and "I just execute orders.

I hope that the American people can use democracy to protect themselves, without having to go to the desolation of the picturesque Washington State. Of Iraq.

Home of the Brave quotes

  • Police Sergeant: Been in there for about an hour. Kept asking for you.

  • Penelope Marsh: Will, what happened over there?

    Will Marsh: I don't really remember. You know. It's like a dream. Hazy dream.

    Penelope Marsh: Then tell me. I wanna know.

    Will Marsh: Do you? Wanna know what a blast wound looks like? What an OR in the desert smells like? What really happens to them? How they die? You really wanna know? You want us to come back like nothing ever happened. You don't want to get your hands dirty with the details.
