Master the right to speak and wash the image of the invaders - "Outpost"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Outpost".
The film title The Outpost (2020), alias 72 Hours Outpost Rescue (Taiwan) / Outpost.
This is an American movie about war.
As the country that likes to invade other countries the most, the United States has never lacked material for filming war movies. The Outpost is based on a book by CNN reporter Jake Tapper. The story of 53 U.S. soldiers fighting fiercely at outpost camps and bases for the Taliban in northeastern Afghanistan.
Americans have a strong interest in acting as the world's policeman, and they like to go to other countries to get in trouble. So when the audience sees the Yankees running to the Pakistani border near Afghanistan and building an outpost, they don't feel any sense of disobedience.
After 9/11, Americans sent troops everywhere under the banner of anti-terrorism, and the story here is against this background. A group of American soldiers is stationed 14 miles from the Pakistani border, ready to face gunfire from local people and Taliban elements.
The true historical story of "Outpost" is detailed in the news. As long as you connect the following four news stories, you will find a very interesting truth.
【News 1】
People's Daily Online, October 5, 2009. Tribal militants in Nuristan Province in eastern Afghanistan attacked the joint outpost of the US military and the Afghan government forces near the border area on the 3rd, killing 8 US soldiers and 7 Afghan security forces. . Authorities said it was the fiercest fighting in the mountains in the past eight years. The entire firefight lasted for several hours before it ended.
Local officials said the U.S. and Afghan outposts were at the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, with villages and mosques on either side of the outposts. The statement issued by the U.S. military said that in the early morning of the 3rd, more than 300 militants launched raids from mosques and villages near the joint post. The U.S. military and Afghan security forces immediately returned fire, engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the militants and repelled the militants with the support of the air force.
During the battle, the Taliban militants first surrounded the Afghan government outpost and launched a fierce attack on the US military outpost located on the top of the mountain from both flanks. During the fighting, a total of 15 Afghan military and police officers were captured by the Taliban, including a local police chief and his deputy. The Taliban threatened to decide the fate of these "senior" captives through religious inquiries.

【News 4】
People's Daily Online, February 7. The Pentagon Commission of Inquiry recently released details of a tragic loss suffered by the US military in Afghanistan. The committee believes that the failure of the superior deployment is the direct cause of the huge loss of the Taliban night attack. It is reported that when the Taliban surrounded the attacked post, most US and Afghan soldiers were sleeping, resulting in the death of eight US troops.
The report believes that although the US military has increased its troops to Afghanistan by 30,000, it is still not enough to gain an absolute advantage in the confrontation with the Taliban. Adversaries will still take advantage of the loopholes of the U.S. military and NATO officers and soldiers to launch "deadly sneak attacks" time after time. Among them, the above-mentioned incident on October 3 last year was the result of the US commander's failure to order the frontline outposts to retreat to a safe location in time.
Due to the lack of actual combat experience of the Afghan military and police cooperating with the US military, more than 300 Taliban fighters easily broke through the first line of defense in the east of the post. Before the incident, there were only more than 60 American and Afghan military police in this post. Under the cover of mortars, rocket launchers and machine guns, numerous Taliban fighters launched a fierce attack from the top of the mountain to the American outpost in the valley.
In the fierce sound of gunfire, Afghan soldiers fled the battlefield when they saw the situation was not good, leaving only the US military to resist desperately. In the end, with the support of the air, the U.S. military finally repelled the Taliban's attack. While cleaning the battlefield, the US military found more than 150 Taliban remains. The Taliban's "early morning raid" strategy has become an important combat method that the US military dare not underestimate.
The U.S. military investigation team believes that because the boss notified the attacked outpost very early that it would be closed, the U.S. military stationed there was lax in defense and did not have enough weapons, ammunition and combat supplies. In the five months before the most intense fighting broke out, Taliban militants launched 47 small attacks to test the outpost's combat effectiveness.
Currently, about 100,000 foreign soldiers, who are part of NATO forces and the US-led coalition, are in Afghanistan on peacekeeping and reconstruction missions. Most of the U.S. troops are based in tribal areas in eastern Afghanistan that border Pakistan, fighting the Taliban fighters on both sides of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The U.S. military will still maintain outposts in some remote areas away from the larger forces.
McChrystal, the top commander of the US military in Afghanistan, also admitted recently that the Pentagon has not only underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Taliban, but also failed to gain the broad trust of the Afghan people, so it may not be able to guarantee a comprehensive victory in the Afghan war. It is expected that in the future, the US military will deploy more troops in densely populated areas to increase the influence of ordinary people and protect and reduce the Taliban.
McChrystal emphasized that the U.S. military must not repeat the mistakes of the former Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Winning this war is of great significance, otherwise the Taliban "very likely" will re-turn Afghanistan into a "paradise" for all kinds of extremist and terrorist organizations.
The Taliban militants have recently increased the number of incidents on the road, especially by carrying out sneak attacks on various checkpoints. The "psychological warfare effect" was excellent, as the Taliban sent only a few fighters to launch an onslaught on the convoys carrying logistics supplies on the road.
The latest opinion polls show that with the increase in the number of US military deaths on the battlefield in Afghanistan and the continuous fermentation of many domestic problems in the United States, the approval rate of US President Barack Obama continues to decline. Just over 50 percent of Americans currently support the war on terror.

Whoever has the right to speak will have the truth.
Outpost is a prime example. If the audience did not look at the snapshots of the news webpages of the year, just watching a film, it is easy to think that the real situation at that time was what the film showed.
But don't forget who made this film and what it was for. The position of "Outpost" is naturally to wash the ground for the United States, showing that the US military can bravely and tenaciously resist "terrorists" under extremely difficult circumstances. One minute ago, the US military was still trying to mingle with the local people, but the next minute it was really mingling with the local people. It seems that the perfidious ones are all Middle East terrorists, and the US military has always been the image of the savior.
The upper troops attacked the plot, the second attacked the Jiaotong, the second attacked the soldiers, and the lower attacked the city.
A robber ran into someone's house, greedy for their resources, and built an outpost in the middle of the road. If they didn't have a good relationship with the local people, they would not beat you.
In "Outpost", it seems that terrorists are the root of all evil, which is simply putting the cart before the horse and turning black and white.
The advantage of "Outpost" is that the war scenes are beautiful.
To be able to build an outpost between mountains and valleys is a war genius, and I can't think of any words to describe this war genius. It is also thanks to this ghost that the Taliban have this excellent opportunity to attack.
The climax of "Outpost" is the 40-minute non-stop war scene, with gunshots and explosions, bullets and limbs flying, which is very enjoyable. There are many excellent long shots in the battle, allowing the audience to follow an ordinary soldier into the battlefield, which greatly enhances the sense of substitution.
The scenes of "Outpost" are good-looking, with excellent writing and directing skills, showing the hard power of the American film industry, but the essence is still to whitewash the image of the aggressor. Everyone must stand firm when watching the film, and don't be fooled and lame.
