I think the most important question this film wants to answer is in modern society, why do we fight when we don’t need to protect our homes. To rescue people under the autocratic rule? In order to bring democracy and peace to more corners of the world? For the country as the president as a resource? "When you have a bullet whizzing over your head, you will find that these are not important." In the end, everyone is just a soldier who obeys orders, and everything they do, "... it's about the men next to you." To sacrifice one's life or "as long as the doctrine is true" is actually a lie.
I think it is not difficult to see from this movie that Americans cherish and respect life and individuals. In many Chinese and Japanese movies, where it seems that “a shot for relief” should be given, they are still using our seemingly cruel and hopeless ways to save; they refuse to evacuate only to save a corpse. A world that respects the individual is a truly civilized world.
Somalia is a hell on earth. Everyone has a gun and everyone dares to shoot, but not everyone has thought about why they want to kill. On the other hand, they have become a minority fighting against the entire city, and there is another reason that the director has not stated clearly-how can you prove that you are not an aggressor if you are fighting other people's wars in other people's countries? How many people can listen to you explain the difference between peacekeeping and aggression? Furthermore, I have to go online to the issue of "universal value", but it is not a topic I want to discuss, and it is only in the hint of the director. Please feel free to "appreciate" it.
