Is war good or bad?

Elias - represents the "defensive" war of humanity and justice, and even the attack appears to be every step of the way, and the grass and trees are all soldiers; Barnes - reflects the "offensive" war of power and expansion, and the slaughter is disorderly.
The protagonist is a contradictory body. Since the ideology of the humane nature and the hegemonic type of water and fire are incompatible, it is difficult to simply leave this hot land that should not come...

But the funny thing is that he happened to use the method of killing to bear the burden. The word "revenge" to end a conflict that shouldn't exist, and then leave rashly.

PS The film confessions and documentary-style shooting methods are very real!

Platoon quotes

  • Doc: This is bad, man. I got bad vibes here.

  • Chris Taylor: It's the way the whole thing works. People like Elias get wasted. People like Barnes just go on making up the rules any way they want. So what do we do? Sit in the middle and suck on it. We just don't add up to dry shit, King.

    King: Whoever said we did, man? All you got to do is make it out of here, and it's all gravy. Every day, the rest of your life, gravy.
