Conscience and doubt

Six years after the war to overthrow the Saddam regime in Iraq, there was such a movie "Green Zone" starring Matt Damon in "The Bourne". I only saw this movie 6 years later. This is a film reflecting on the justice of the Iraq War. Matt Damon was searching for Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction (including chemicals). After several assaults on known storage sites, he found nothing. He began to question whether Iraq The existence of the legendary weapon raises suspicion.
According to a soldier's mission, he obeyed orders, but he suspected and conducted investigations, which showed that he still had a conscience and a spirit of questioning unique to Americans. Then those who engage in art wrote (photographed) it, and continued to remind people of what kind of person they should be, and then a virtuous circle made this part of society always exist in this society, especially at historical junctures, to prevent the regression of human history. That is to say, the preciousness of the existence of different voices (thoughts), just like people questioning Aunt Shen, she will only raise the golden hand, and never expect her to make different voices for the benefit of people of different classes. It seems to us that the people who are taught to question the government and officials are asking for trouble, but only in this way can they take the wrong path and detour.
I oppose all wars in any name, because it is soldiers and people who suffer no matter whether the war is justice or not. Although the Iraq War overthrew the dictatorship, it was not a farce directed by politicians and weapons manufacturers.
