Fight for the country? Fight for the flag?

I’ve watched a lot of war movies recently, and each of them has flesh and blood. I don’t know why some people outside give it such a low rating. Do you think war is numb? Maybe? War movies can only have hot and thrilling scenes, can’t they have too many mental descriptions? It should be courageous and not confused, right?

Humans are not machines after all, they are advanced animals with thoughts and emotions.
U.S. victory? Viet Cong failed? Who can judge? The answer will never change, the only difference is the number of deaths.

The biggest feature of this film is the addition of emotional shots of the "enemy army". Behind each soldier, there is a family waiting for their triumphant return. The US military is, and so is the Viet Cong. I haven't been through war, and I don't know how I feel when I'm down in the face of enemies and teammates.

There is no such thing as right or wrong in war. Who are the soldiers fighting for? nation? flag? They don't know, and neither do I. War is cruel, it keeps so many young soldiers forever in their youth, and these children will always be remembered.
