"Restrepo" is a documentary film reflecting the US military's security war in the Colungar Valley in Afghanistan in 2007. The actual combat scenes are still very shocking and can be watched at station b. From a technical point of view, the US military uses platoons as units to set up outposts in the mountains of Afghanistan, and the tactics of conducting security operations seem to be stupid. In fact, this is because the US military has sacrificed too much for the so-called "security", and you cannot tell whether this is the hypocrisy of American politicians or the artificial idealism of Americans. Take the Colangal Valley as an example. The U.S. military outposts were forced to be set up in low-lying places close to the villages for the sake of security. At the same time, in order to support each other, they could not set up outposts at the highest point in the area in isolation. Therefore, they would always be hit by condescending firepower and the casualty rate was only high. Will increase. However, in such a severe battlefield environment, the 173rd Airborne Brigade was still able to fight for 15 months and maintained a high morale. It had a good casualty exchange ratio. I had to lament the strength of the US military and the extraordinary performance of the security war. Internationally, it is widely believed that the war in Afghanistan was an act of revenge by the United States against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Then you have to take revenge, just like playing PLA and playing Vietnam, you can't withdraw after playing. Trapped in the mountains and fighting for 18 years, "anti-terrorism" has changed, and "security" has become a hypocritical scam. This is a kind of sadness for Americans and Afghans.
