Elias and Barnes have completely different attitudes towards war. To the bystander Taylor, it seems like two confusions. What is war?
The excitement of the war-thirsty, and the fear of death in war for most soldiers. Death...the constant death, and the gore of being blown up.
Elias looked back to see someone with a gun pointed at him, and stopped; recognizing that it was Barnes, smiling; Barnes didn't put the gun down, confused; Barnes aimed at him, disappointed; then Barnes shot! At this time, the conflict between the two different concepts of war reached a fevered degree. Tyler suspects that Barnes killed Elias, and in his mind, Elias' views are more in line with him. He wants to avenge Elias, and at this time, the conspiracy of the war is revealed. However, other soldiers don't know that it was Barnes who killed Ilias, but for them, when they finish their military service and go home safely is the most important thing. There is no fairness in war. It's like an old soldier stepping on a dog. Shit scolded Taylor: idealist.
Just when everyone thought Ilias was dead, Ilias rushed out of the jungle, followed by a dozen enemy soldiers. Ilias, who had been shot several times, was still dead. He fell down with his hands to the sky. This short-lived joy of coming back from the dead was dispelled and replaced by a greater grief. The situation of both internal and external enemies.
Barnes was injured, and Tyler stood in front of him. He asked Tyler to find a medic for him, completely forgetting that he had just swung a knife to kill Tyler and killed Elias before. Tyler picked up the gun and pulled the trigger.
