Don't generalize

In the after-film, several actors who play soldiers (who are themselves active or retired U.S. soldiers) discuss it. The general conclusion is that violence due to post-war psychological problems (PTS) is an isolated case. Most of the soldiers who participated in the war did not have pts, and even if they had pts, it did not necessarily lead to violence. And they don't understand why pts can cause such an event. (The film is based on real events, and the father of the deceased in the footage, the prototype of the protagonist in the film, was also interviewed.)
So I found that although the film itself is a thought-provoking anti-war film, it is too general. The Iraq War (or any war) cannot be completely denied because of this case, and it is subjectively believed that the war has only a negative impact on the character building of the soldiers participating in the war.
You can look at john mccain, 5 years of life as a prisoner of war in Vietnam did not destroy him, but became an excellent capital for his presidential campaign. . .

    It is a novel approach to analyze and reflect on war through a crime.
