director overly glorified iceman

The director and screenwriter over-beautified iceman. In fact, he has big problems in rectifying his subordinates and executing orders. It is just because the power balance between the enemy and the enemy is too great, and it is not reflected. The sergeant major is basically correct, the general and the battalion commander are somewhat aggressive in decision-making, but if the war is fought with 100% certainty, there will be no war, so the decision-making is basically correct.
Just imagine if the guy who lost his helmet was actually shot in the head, would he still be alive? Later, wearing the helmets of Iraqi soldiers caused the entire army to be attacked by friendly forces. I really didn't want to kill myself, and even took the lives of others. The one who does not wear a beard, try it with a wound on his mouth, it is difficult to deal with, and it is easy to be infected. Not to mention that these guys molested female soldiers, tortured captives, and shot civilians.
Taking a look at the cause and effect of the airport attack and the importance of the airport, you can see why you sent them there. On the one hand, the abandonment of the supply vehicle is due to the lack of timely maintenance and replacement for your own reasons, and more importantly, it is to seize the time. Air power is good, but a forced strike will cause the US military to lose a landing point, and airborne troops will suffer more casualties. Land power tanks are good, but they have no advantage in speed. It is not uncommon for the scout team members with outstanding individual ability to take a risk. Facts have proved that the decision is correct, but the soldiers are not the slightest joy in such a major victory, which is really unexpected. Others, such as bombing villages, have a possibility of more than 50% of armed forces hidden in them. You can see that the tanks in the village behind them are all beaten back. On the surface, there is no problem in that village. Into the village. If it weren't for the information provided by the locals, they would have been destroyed a long time ago. So these seemingly killing civilians are the most effective way to protect these Marines, who don't know why these soldiers have no sympathy for their saviors. And that time when 11,000 tons of explosives were used to blast sand, everyone except iceman saw tanks, and iceman did not report what they saw. You are the commander, how do you make decisions? And that time when you didn't search for the tanks next to you after camping, what if you really had counterattacks?
Therefore, the film is a good film, very real, but the screenwriters, directors and soldiers are too self-righteous. There can always be reasons. If, according to their logic, policymakers are bastards, how can the United States win wars, win wars all the time, and keep winning wars.
Lu Xun said that he was sad for his misfortune, and angry that he did not fight.
Police with you.
