Why we fight?

I think all young people who are enthusiastic about brother Ah Zhong should really take a good look at "Homeland Security". One of the motifs of this show (at least the first three seasons) is the relationship between man and country. The latter can make you a smash hit, inspirational war hero. But once you're shaken or stained, you're instantly an outcast. There are several very touching episodes: 1. After Corporal Tom Walker's funeral, one of Brody's comrades who lost his legs on the battlefield scolds him for being an official war hero after returning home, and then makes more young lads Going to the battlefield in the Middle East, some lost their lives, some lost their arms and legs, and some suffered humiliation because they were captured... Suddenly I thought of the German drama "Our Fathers" and his father written by Xiaoxiong Yingji His life history "The Man Who Comes Back Alive" is also a very good work on the relationship between man and country. I think only those who have experienced the war will understand that, under such extreme conditions, people are nothing more than sacrificial objects in the torrent of the times, and they cannot understand death even if they die. 2. At the end of the first season, Brody recorded a confession before he was about to wear a suicide vest to blow up the American dignitaries headed by Vice President Walden. After reading it, I was very sympathetic and moved. I'm sure he never questioned his patriotism, he just had to kill Walden. Because he had to make high-ranking dignitaries pay for the drone strike in Afghanistan that took away Essa, a little boy he regarded as his own. What was wrong with what he said? The war crimes committed by those who represent the country are not judged, and the souls of those who have been killed in the name of the country are not appeased... In this situation, the faith in the country is indeed so disillusioned.
