Don't love war, love heroes

We always despise our enemies and keep deceiving ourselves-knowing that we are actually playing the role of "enemies".
We always deny the "human" nature of our enemies and treat them as beasts and beasts-knowing that we are doing the same thing.
The war has brought everyone the same things, pain, blood and tears, broken homes and deaths. Maybe there are justice and injustice in war, but specific to each individual in war, maybe their evil will is so insignificant. Most of the time, the soldiers are just performing their duties and executing the orders of the leaders; each individual is insignificant, but tens of thousands of people have shouldered the mission of the country; maybe they are blinded by something, but they are blinded by such things, Didn’t it happen to each of us? In that case, what kind of moral superiority do you have?
After all-
we have no right to take away any life! We are in the name of "justice and liberation" in the war! Every soldier is such a complex of "devil and angel".
Only when you understand this can you understand the true meaning of war-it is the cannibalism between humans without distinction; it is the cold winter when countless undifferentiated lives die; it is the soul that goes to hell and to heaven at the same time The turning point, where each soul is torn in half.
Each of us is educated to love heroes in war and love those "just" wars; but heroes should be worshipped, and the cause they are engaged in should be sealed forever and never reborn.
War heroes are worthy of love. It is not how many enemies they have killed or how many battle achievements they have made. It should be how much they cherish life, how honest and kind, and how much they add beauty to the world, not their souls.
A "Brothers", countless heroes. No one is a propaganda machine chanting slogans of justice, no one is a killing machine that shoots without blinking, and no one is an alienator who regards life as nothing. They know that what they are facing is a living life, so they are also reduced from a hero to a living life, and these living lives are the real heroes most worthy of our cherish in that era of war.
Reflecting on war is the best way to avoid war. Respect for the "enemy" is the best way to treat life. With the help of an "evil" German general, "Brothers" tells the connotation of the film that should have been said by the "righteous" hero-the friendship of brothers and the way of mission. It tells us that at the end of the war, there is no right or wrong, no positive and negative, forget everything, and cherish the best feelings between people.

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Sgt. Alton More: I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.

    Ronald Spiers: So, you looked at 'em, but you didn't take 'em?

    Sgt. Alton More: That's right, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: I don't believe you! I'll be watching you. You're dismissed.

    [as Moore leaves, smirking]

    Ronald Spiers: You'd better not be lying to me.

  • Ronald Spiers: What?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Sir, if it's not going to put you in too much of a bind, I'd like to resign as company First Sergeant. If I had my choice, I miss being back amongst the men. I'd be happy to go to as Staff Sergeant, whichever platoon you want to put me in.

    Ronald Spiers: Well, I guess you've earned your right to demote yourself.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Thank you, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: You wanna take over Sergeant Grant's platoon?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: That would do fine, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: Alright then, report to Lieutenant Peacock. Let me know if he gives you any trouble.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Oh, sir? You make your decision yet?

    Ronald Spiers: Yeah, I did.
