The nature and role of the outpost is reminiscent of the Japanese bunker

"Outpost" is adapted from the real events of Keating's battle in October 2009. It is a series of paving, the kind of movie that happened after the incidents were clearly explained, and then the whole process. Such military outposts of the US military in Afghanistan belong to the tactical level, and their nature and function are reminiscent of the bunkers built during the Japanese invasion of China in World War II and the bunkers tactics adopted by the Japanese. As a nail, go forward to the front line of the Taliban to contain, consume, and guide other forces to attack the main Taliban. Such a position and role are of course also the key targets of the Taliban's attacks. The fighting is sometimes quite fierce, and the Keating battle shown in the movie is very representative. As a front-line combat unit, this outpost sparrow is small and well-equipped. There are checkpoints, positions, logistical support such as ammunition, medical care, and living quarters. What is surprising is that the feces of the outposts are all burned. If you consider the environmental protection, is it a bit too much to worry about? The Afghan National Army is still stationed in the outpost, but it really fought fiercely with the Taliban, and I can't expect them to be as desperate and tenacious as possible. Communication with the local people, separating tribal personnel from the Taliban, and striving to win the hearts of the people in order to win the war is a guide and a policy of the U.S. military in the war in Afghanistan. The movie also shows how the outpost implements this policy in detail. It can be seen that this is a policy that is difficult to achieve results. There is no difference between the tribe and the Taliban. There is no difference between the tribe and the Taliban. To some extent, the tribe is the social foundation of the Taliban. If poverty and ignorance are not eliminated, and the distance from civilized society is not reduced, the Taliban will not be completely eliminated. It cannot be said that there are many problems with the strategy and tactics of the US military in Afghanistan, but it is easy to make a quick fight and withdraw after the fight, and it is difficult to continue and completely eliminate the Taliban. There are problems with the site selection for the Keating outpost, and the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there are hidden dangers. After the death of the first commander in the movie, the second commander took the approach of patrolling, but he himself was killed by the bombing, so the troops shrank back. The Taliban also have military talents and will take advantage of the problems exposed by the US military. From the various conversations of the outpost soldiers before the war, it can be seen that the composition of the American soldiers is quite complicated, and most of them belong to the lower class of society. As soon as the guns rang, everyone opened their eyes, mostly showing heroic pride.

    The outpost is located in such a dangerous place

  • Bartholome 2022-03-28 09:01:09

    After the United States fled Afghanistan, it is a bit absurd to watch this small-scale brutal battle between the US military and the Taliban. Although more than 50 U.S. troops fought against more than 400 Taliban, and the location of the outpost is very unfavorable, these U.S. troops appear very heroic, but where is the justice of the U.S. military when they go to other countries with guns and guns? If you don't hit you, who else will you hit? What's more, despite the unfavorable terrain, there are planes and air strikes in the end. Under the fierce air strikes, the siege of the Taliban is almost impossible to fight back, and the casualties are heavy. Isn't the US military using high-tech weapons to carry out massacres? It should be said that all the deaths of U.S. soldiers are deserved death. All invaders must accept such a fate, and this is justice. The U.S. military actually awarded medals to those invaders, how shameless? 2021.10.4
