"Last Strike" was turned into "Medal of Steel", which tells the story of winning the highest medal of honor for the "hero" of the Vietnam War 30 years ago. It is definitely a main theme movie. The story is based on an interview and investigation by the protagonist, the Pentagon civilian official who accepts the demands of the veterans. More than 30 years ago, the shadow of the war did not disappear from the hearts of these parties. In the face of heroes, their inner guilt, their dissatisfaction with their comrades in not getting the corresponding honor, etc. are intertwined with emotions. And the parents who lost their sons have also endured pain and suffering for a long time, eager to see the honor of their son before the illness takes his life. After a series of interviews and investigations, the image of the "hero" gradually became complete. He descended from the sky like an angel, decisively evacuated the wounded and rescued his comrades in despair, and then rushed to the rain of bullets. The bullets did not stop his original intention. National affairs and family affairs, it seems that the perfect answer can be found from him, that is, if I don't die, others have to go. His heroic deeds united the veterans and influenced the next generation. He is like Christ, who has endured everything for everyone, and he will always live in everyone's hearts, continuing to play an inspiring and helping role. Isn't this the value of American society? The commander and the soldiers who fight on the front line should be honored. This may also be a worldwide problem. For the former, it is the difficulty of decision-making and command, and the risk of messing up and being nailed to the pillar of historical shame, the gains and losses at the level of personal and family honor and disgrace are absolutely not to be considered light. For soldiers on the front line, that is experiencing life and death. The fighting is too fierce, and the situation is too cruel, and they have already surpassed the limit of human normal endurance. People who have gone through life and death will certainly not forget that experience, and they will not be able to face the people who gave their lives for them and the hopeless heroic parents. Some scars cannot be uncovered. The troops have the task of luring the enemy, and some have the task of destroying the enemy. It cannot be said that luring the enemy is acting as cannon fodder. Combat operations are a game of chess. Fighting is just one word: chaos, no matter how wise a victor is, there is no one who has never lost a battle, and no one wins a battle in an orderly manner. In an official-based society, it may never be understood why the president and the five-star general said that they love the national medal of honor more than their official position and military rank. This film gives the answer, that is, these big people know that those who can win this medal will not die for politicians, but will only go through fire and water for their brothers. The hero's deeds have influenced generations of people. Even the hero of the movie, who is good at mixing systems, knows the importance of conscience, and finally stepped forward at the risk of his so-called career development. We should watch this movie aside from ideology. We should not let the blood of "heroes" flow in vain. We should let them see the respect that society deserves in heaven, and let their short-term personal value shine forever. Let everyone pursue a better life.
