The helplessness of grassroots workers

I didn't expect the rating to be so high. If you haven't read no easy day, it would be more difficult to watch this movie. At least in the last part of the action, many details will not be clear, but after reading the book, I found that the degree of reduction is quite high. The book is about the action part, and the movie complements the work of the intelligence officer "Jen" in the book. Why did Maya cry at the end? You say relief, guilt, and bullshit. That's grievance and sadness. You see how weightless it is to be a small person. You have devoted yourself to this matter for 10 years, and you vowed to kill them all and turn them into Ash, you are 100% sure that it is bin Laden, but you can't convince the president, you can't cause action, others think you're a lunatic, most people don't ask for merit but blame, almost everyone lives and works by this principle . This helplessness, this sense of powerlessness, I really undestand.
