Behind the tragic scenes of suicide and martyrdom, there are crazy commanders. They were chosen as commanders because they were more crazy about what they were doing. The most tragic thing is the ordinary people who have no choice but to join the army. When morality and belief are imposed on you, when a group of people stares at you with scarlet eyes, when someone like you chooses to pull out the fuse and hold it in your chest and blow yourself up, why don't you do it? Do you have a choice? ? If you don't do it, the non-commissioned officers will kill you as well, and then scold you as a national scum, not worthy of being in the company of those soldiers who generously died. You have lost your sense of group identity and denied the beliefs you have been instilled in since childhood. How can you survive? It's crazy... Nationalism is a crazy thing, and if it doesn't work it will kill everyone like a meat grinder.
I also think that if I were in this kind of environment, I would have to choose the path of most candidates. But this road is really crazy... In the actual plot: The officer committed suicide without caring about the last two remaining people. Is this true?
