Every sacrifice of flesh and blood should be respected

I have to say that the heroism of American films is always rendered so well that people often have an urge to join the army. If the interference of adrenaline is thrown away, it may be that respect makes me yearn for it.

For example, Wolf Warrior or this Escort Chance are two films with completely different tunes, but both address a fact that most of us don't care too much about (whether you admit it or not): Soldiers deserve our respect, no matter what All over the world silently watch over us while they are dead or alive, whether they are retired or not.

Veterans or martyrs who gave their lives for the country, under the exposure of the heat, we paid attention, wept, and were heartbroken. But half a month later, other things grabbed our attention. After all, the word respect is only temporary, not permanent from the inside out.

This film is not only well-selected, but also uses a unique perspective. It seems plain but directly touching the hearts of us. It silently tells us countless thought-provoking moments, condensed into two words-respect. A strong country is not based on how many troops it has and how much territory it has. It is the attitude of the dead, respect and unity, unity and strength.

Therefore, every sacrifice of flesh and blood should be respected.

Taking Chance quotes

  • 1st Lt. Dan Robertson (Chance Phelp's platoon commander): [voiceover, from his 09 April 2004 letter to the Phelps family] It's ironic, but I am certain that if the world had more men like Chance Phelps, there wouldn't be a need for a Marine Corps.

  • LtCol Mike Strobl: [voiceover] Chance Phelps was wearing his St. Christopher medal when he was killed on Good Friday. Eight days later, I handed the medallion to his mother. I watched them carry him the final fifteen yards. I felt that as long as he was still moving, he was somehow still alive. When they put him down in his grave, he'd stopped moving. I didn't know Chance Phelps before he died. But today, I miss him.
