That war made us grow

Those gentle, young, conceited and arrogant young people are just like the endorsement of our youth. Because of youth, people always want to rely on youth, at least to paint a strong stroke in the history of their struggle. Maybe others will forget it with the passage of time, but people always want to leave something to themselves, at least after a hundred years old, they can nagging and show off more to their grandchildren. Because that youth always knocks on our hearts, urging us to think about our ideals!
So, they went to the battlefield. Although the reasons are different, they always want to prove to others that I can do it when I am young.

It's a pity that the war awakened their dreams and shattered the illusion of youth. Carnival death, they can’t understand when they first arrived; they who were once proud, bowed their heads in the face of failure; sharing life and death, made them put down racial prejudice and respect each other like brothers; they soared in the sky again, no longer to prove anything, just to find With some excuses, express your heart honestly! Perhaps, the initiator of the war was greedy, but the people who participated in the war and persisted to the end were only to let their loved ones see the beautiful evening and appreciate the lingering twilight in this deeply loved land.

As the conversation between Casio and Rollins says
"I'm actually very much like you, full of romanticism and even honor, only to find out that this war can't be won by either side. One day it's over. ...people will go home and go on with their lives. Tall weeds will bury the battlefield, and those pilots who died will not change anything..."
"If war really doesn't make sense, why do you keep going?"
"Kill those who didn't kill before, kill those who killed my friends. You have to find a reason to keep going."

Perhaps, only in the face of war, disaster and death, we have the right to say that we know what it means to grow. Many people say that the young people after the 80s are the generation that makes no fuss. We live comfortably and comfortably, and our food and clothing have been solved, but we often feel hopeless, sad, and lonely. At that time, although we lived a comfortable life, unfortunately we did not have spiritual sustenance in our hearts. We feel lost about our own growth and lose our nature by the materialistic society. We are awake yet lethargic, living on the edge of numbness.

That war taught them the meaning of life, and people's value in adversity has been sublimated.
