The Vietnam War - American Real Life Realism
Johnathan 2022-04-19 09:01:11
Taylor was a college student who signed up for the Vietnam War himself. Entering this cruel world, you will find that many of the rules in life can be disobeyed. The army has always been another world, not to mention the army in war. Most of the American soldiers came to participate in the Vietnam War for the sake of a better life in the future. In fact, they were all afraid of death. Everyone was for their own interests. Jazz... However, when the people around me die one by one, I realize that human life is so fragile. When people have this kind of mentality that they are not sure whether they can survive or not, it is terrifying. We saw that when this group of American soldiers kidnapped a Vietnamese village, murdered the local people and raped little girls, all of this was inhumane and understandable. This can not help but remind me of the Japanese massacre in China.
Human life is fragile, but sometimes people are extremely powerful. War will only bring endless harm. I hope this world has less war and more harmony.

[Manny has been killed and the platoon is looking for revenge]
Chris Taylor: The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. Barnes was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab. He would set things right again. That day, we loved him.
