Killing a generation, a big soldier who lives on Hummer and M4

"we have go through this county fuck things up and now we have to show this people what we liberate for..." This is what platoon leader Nate said when he arranged patrol tasks for the team members in the last episode. It seemed perfect to me The interpretation of the mentality of this group of American soldiers in the Iraq war. Invaded, destroyed, and then claimed to liberate the people in a high-sounding voice. When the team finally watched the countless Iraqis falling on the side of the road and in the car in their DV, no one cheered (except for the violent Trombly of course). , Only silently leave, leave this absurd world. However, they have nothing to do or comment on. They are just ordinary people who joined the army to live. They may be gentlemen like Brad, or they may be the offspring of the mindless soldiers of American Captain. At first I just thought Seeing how Americans shoot such sensitive topics, but having to admire them in two episodes of their affairs reduced me from caring about political issues to caring about how these soldiers eat, drink and sleep all day long. In short, I like this seemingly plain narrative, not only because it is true, but also because it allows me to see the other side of things, a kind of contradiction and compromise.
