Add a paragraph shared by Professor Zhai Dongsheng, Vice Dean of the School of International Relations of the National People's University: "I once heard a retired US military officer talk about his daily situation in Afghanistan: "Usually we hide in huge fortress-like military camps and do not go out. Sometimes A guerrilla attack in the middle of the night was nothing more than throwing a small rocket to frighten us. Most of the time, the Americans could not be killed. But once the Americans were killed or wounded, we paid the leaders of the tribal armed forces and asked them to help catch the attackers. Most of the time, within a few days, an assailant who does not know the truth or not will be caught, and the body will be hung on a high pole by the bazaar, as an example. "I asked him, isn't it because you are paying protection money to the local armed forces? I replied, yes, that's how it is. I had never thought that there would be such a useless occupation army, which is ridiculous, but think about it carefully. It is also reasonable. After all, the painful lesson of the Vietnam War for American politicians is: it doesn’t matter to spend some money, but American domestic public opinion cannot tolerate too many soldiers casualties. I asked, why do you have to stay there for so long? Answered, face-saving And credit, and no politicians are willing to bear the direct responsibility for defeat.” In the film, the captain of the sniper complained about “what kind of battle are we fighting?” This is the same potential feeling.

    Overall good, with a sense of the battlefield. The ending part is a bit self-righteous, but it is also a perspective

    The style is to be cold and realistic, but many of the settings are very legendary, and I am reluctant to let go of some sensational paragraphs, but in general, the integration is still good. In this imperial cemetery, countless powers are fleeting here. , a country like Canada must be even more confused.

Hyena Road quotes

  • Travis: Name me one thing I've ever been wrong about!

    Ryan: ...thinks for a moment... My sister?

    Travis: ...pause... Yeah, that was bad...

  • Pete: Alexander the Great marched into this graveyard about 2,500 years ago. Easy to march in, hard to march out. His words. He and his mother wrote to each other all the time. One day, he got a letter from her saying: "What the hell? You conquered most of the known world in a day and a half, what are you doing bogged down in Afghanistan?" He grabbed a bag and shoveled it full of dirt and had it sent back to Greece with a message to his mother: "Take this dirt and dump it around the palace, see what happens."

    Pete: So Alexander's mother spread the dirt all around the palace. Later that night, a couple of attendants showed up to make sure she was alright. One says: "Go ahead, after you." And the other says: "No, after you." And the first one says: "No, I insist." And the second one says: "Don't you tell me what to do." They pull their swords and go at it till they kill each other. Alexander's mother watched all this and wrote a note to him saying: "Okay, okay, now I get it." And he wrote back saying: "Even the dirt is hostile." In Afghanistan, dogs fight dogs, birds fight birds, men kill men.
