Medal of Honor for the deceased:

"Pitts descended from the sky to save the dead and heal the wounded, and fight for the lives of people he didn't know." "Death is dark, quiet, and never ending like a night in the jungle."

In the Tang Dynasty, Cao Songyou’s poem wrote, "With the words of the Lord and Mosquitoes, one general will succeed in succession." It means that the success of a general depends on the sacrifices of thousands of people. ruthless. Many people will because of war: parents lost their sons, wives and children lost their fathers, or lost their brothers and colleagues. What is valuable is the fearlessness of these people, the courage to charge and sacrifice for a certain belief and responsibility, but the saddest thing is that they are forgotten and erased. Without soldiers, there would be no generals, no countries, and no nations. This is based on the theory of modern warfare. The past can only be respected. This is a comfort to the deceased and an inspiration to the present. Honor is not only reserved for the dead, but also for the living. It is not only a national honor, but also a national honor. Those in power can only be kind to every sacrificed martyr and every veteran who was born to death. Only in this way can they gain the respect of the people and win the next war. In addition to relying on advanced weapons, wars require the solidification of people's hearts.

The movie "Last Strike" is about a group of Vietnam War veterans. They have not walked out of the shadows, because they can't forget one person, a person who risked his death to rescue them in a rain of bullets. This person is a paratrooper of the Air Force. It's William Hart Pisenpark. This is a frightening past. Due to the commander's command error, a company of people fell into ambushes by the Viet Cong. No matter it was in the jungle or in the trees, bullets from the Vietnamese army were shot. All of this was actually the commander's deliberate use of the entire company as bait in order to distinguish the situation of the opponent. Many people were shot through by bullets, soaked in blood, and groaned and wailed in place. Just when they felt that they were dead, a paratrooper fell like an angel, bandaged the wounds of each injured colleague, and commanded them to put on a stretcher and send them to the transport plane, not to hesitate to rescue the other wounded from the gunfire. He was an air force, but at the moment he regarded death as his home for these unknown army brothers, gave up retreating, and finally died in this place cursed by death. When his comrades fell to look for him, they only saw his corpse. He sadly combed his hair, shaved, washed his face for Pisenpark, and transported the corpse back to his homeland with tears in his eyes.

There are both justice and evil in war. A just war is to overthrow a rogue regime and save its people so that its people can enjoy a basic life and receive basic respect. These basically include freedom and equality. Evil wars are always conquering cities. The purpose is not to liberate others, but to enslave others and gain more slaves and benefits for oneself. These people are accustomed to beautifying themselves, like a pervert who abuses an innocent woman, but tells everyone without shame that they are satisfying her sexual needs, helping her, and making her less lonely. , This is how shameless and indignant. But no matter what kind of war, soldiers are always victims. They can't tell right from wrong. They can only be driven by the state, thrown into the battlefield by the crowd, and become cannon fodder. If they die, they are homeless ghosts. Thousands of people who died in World War II were respected by their compatriots, but the Vietnam War was criticized. However, the people who participated in the war were innocent. They could only obey orders. Public opinion could ridicule them. The government must not forget them because of them. Have been allegiance.

It’s a pity that the honor of the paratrooper was postponed for thirty years. At that time, he was only given a cross medal. Some people knew that this was a relegation award and a real injustice. So the comrades in arms have been fighting for the paratrooper's medal of honor. This is also the battle. Survivors want to see. In the end, the proposal was restarted, investigated, accepted, and a special ceremony was held, in which all the combatants, and their families, were invited to witness the honor of the paratrooper Pisenpark. The parents of the paratroopers are already in their twilight years, and the Vietnam War veterans are also close to their elders. They don't have much time in this world, and respecting them before they die is a way to make up for the government's debt to them. To people thirty years later, historical events are like watching a movie. After all, they are not the parties or participants. It is impossible to imagine the tragic situation of desperation, isolation, life and death, in addition to the thrilling on the battlefield, more What's more is that he saw his comrades killed, but he was unable to rescue him. What was even more chilling was that he knew afterwards that he was just a cannon fodder in this meaningless war. Thirty years ago, the government failed them. Thirty years later, because of its conscience and because of human rights, the government had to face hard work, so that these veterans who survived the Vietnam War were respected and recognized their honor instead of continuing. Suppress and persecute these people, ignore them, ignore them, cover up their stories, and reject their demands.
