As soon as the film opens, it is seen that "the army is not adequately equipped, abuses them, and makes them hate the enemy", the Marine Corps must be "self-sufficient", and this war is already burning money.
The people who joined the army are all strange people. They are completely different from the imagined US military. They were so excited when they killed the first time. It is also completely different from the imagined Iraq war. It feels that the US military is simply crushing. Air support is simply invincible.
The whole play revolves around the contradiction between killing the enemy and killing civilians by mistake, and the stupid commander and the low-level soldiers are tired. Saddam's Ba'ath Party also used civilians as shields. The U.S. military will blow up the entire town because of a little possible resistance, and the soldiers may also be nervous and afraid to shoot (when "cleaning up" the town)
until they see it in the middle and late stages. Damn, this is really the Iraq War, and the details are incomparable. Clearly
, some of the Iraqis who were invaded waved with good intentions? (It should be taught to wave to avoid being killed, the so-called "thank you for liberation"), although the US military stipulates that unarmed personnel must not be harmed (but that changed "law of engagement"), but the film depicts "indiscriminate killing", saying Really, when you have the power to decide a person's life on the battlefield, can you control the demon in your heart? (How many people in the U.S. military join the army to kill people? Even the "Godfather" said that he didn't expect the thrill of shooting.
The recruit who accidentally killed civilians said that on the battlefield, it is better to watch the game nervously.
At the end of the fierce battle at the bridge behind, everyone said that they had no sense of killing people. "Is this what a real soldier should feel?" Both the United States and American soldiers expressed suspicion and ignorance.
Fire warning while setting up roadblocks in episode 4, a car may be unintelligible, and the daughter died, the dad was sad and silent, asking "Can I take my daughter's body", an invaded country and people, is that so Powerless.
The life of the Iraqi people is the same as producing and living, but when the tribesmen die, they are curious to see the numbness of the corpse. In a city, Saddam's regime retreated, and the people robbed and moved things. "Life wasted" turned out to be such a situation.
The official name of this war is the "Iraq Liberation War". Who is to be liberated? Although the interior of Iraq may indeed be corrupt, who wants to be broken into their house and beat your brother, alas, maybe there is.
Obviously the equipment is so backward, how can the guerrillas be so brave?
Commander is either a fool or greedy. Psychopathic slut B Company 3rd Platoon "Lieutenant America", stupid sergeant major; incompetent company commander; empty saying "Godfather" is a bit talented.
There are still good people, they are all low-level soldiers, the witty platoon leader who loves his subordinates, the life-guarding captain "Iceman", "We are not here to ruin their lives", and some small team members, I have no impression of the reporter at all, He seems to have no role in the presentation of the film.
Foreigners are blind, and it took a long time + to see the introduction of the characters to recognize them.
