Don't let us continue to be numb

At the end of the movie, when he chose to go back to Iraq, I suddenly remembered a sentence that I didn't know from somewhere, saying that although people's lives were not good when the Taliban ruled Iraq, the rulers used religious slogans to oppress the people. But the arrival of the US military has broken such a seemingly peaceful balance. Many people do not welcome such a world police. Perhaps because they are foreign, or more perhaps because their arrival disrupts the balance, because during the Taliban people didn't have to worry about suicide bombings that suddenly burst into the streets, nor did they have to worry about helicopters rumbled overhead. Life safety is at least what they have.
The Taliban were cornered, surviving in their own way, perhaps to say the same. Unnatural deaths like this happen every day. Look, listen, I'm already numb.
But think about the meaning of the word people. Includes rights and obligations, including democracy. The dust that has been destroyed is gone, so what about the future.
I have never understood politics, but I understand that politics comes with power. All kinds of rights, scrambled or seized. Played out in the most brutal and intolerable way on Iraqi soil.
Especially in the years since I became the People's Liberation Army, I always blame politicians for all the unnatural and tragic events that take place around the world. Not for anything else, but for an equilibrium.
The world in which human beings live today is sad enough. Who is good and who is bad always seems to be measured only by economic indices, while almost completely ignoring democracy, nature, environment, or humanities and so on.
If the economy really represents everything, how can we find that little bit of innocence in a man-made disaster!

    Reacts to the Iraq War, but doesn't feel as real as "Hadisah revenge." The theme that the director wants to express "hurricane assault in war is often addictive, because war is a drug" is still expressed to a certain extent!

    There are so many horns from beginning to end. The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug.

The Hurt Locker quotes

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: Welcome to Bravo Company. Welcome to Camp Victory.

    Staff Sergeant William James: Ah, Camp Victory? I thought this was Camp Liberty.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Ah, no, they changed that about a week ago. 'Victory' sound' better.

    Staff Sergeant William James: All right. Well, good. At least we're in the right place, right?

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: Maybe you shouldn't take this down. You know, we get a lot of mortars at night. You know, the plywood on the windows help with the lateral frag coming through. That's why it's up dere.

    Staff Sergeant William James: Yeah, well, it's not going to stop a mortar round from coming in through the roof, you know. Besides, I like the sunshine.
