a moral dilemma

Either the protagonist of the US military bears the guilt of slaughtering the shepherds

Either the shepherd did not report to the village, and waited for his relatives, friends and villagers to be killed by the US military, and he was burdened with the guilt of the death of his relatives and villagers all his life.

Either the protagonist of the US military is burdened with the guilt of losing his comrade-in-arms

This is a dilemma that US military propaganda cannot escape

Because this is in Afghanistan, not in the US

Small humanity and hypocritical goodwill cannot hide the nature of American soldiers bullying the weak

It can be used as a war movie to promote, but it is a bit cheeky and far-fetched to show the humanity of the US military.
