American soldiers' attitude towards combat

This film represents Americans’ reflection on mistakes. This is a film adapted from a real story. It tells the military action of the United States as a world policeman who wants to forcefully arrest tyrants in the African Somali country where civil war has occurred. Fail. Although the end of the film tells us that the US military killed 19 people and Somalia killed and injured about 2,000 people, the whole film seems to emphasize that the Americans have suffered a lot of casualties and losses, especially because they continue to emphasize not When discarding a compatriot, it seems that the nineteen people they have lost are nineteen failures. All that impressed me in the film was the description and display of the positive image of the Americans, the optimism, humor and the attitude of enjoying life before the assault, cynically driving the black eagle to chase the bison on the prairie. , Admiring the sunset on the beach, and barbecue banquets, it seems that the soldiers rewarded themselves in the process of fighting in a foreign land, and the multi-faceted spiritual pursuit and hobbies of the Americans are also reflected. Some of them gather together to make jokes, and some Draw and write quietly on the bed in the dim light, for the beloved one who is far from home. Once the battle begins, the soldiers are immediately ready to go. From the equipment and operations, it can be seen that the advanced hardware support and the professionalism of their operations must have undergone a lot of polishing and experience. They face their inner feelings sincerely, just like the movie said, not only you are scared, everyone is scared, but we still have to do our own work and carry out our mission. This theme has been throughout the entire film. Each of them gave their lives to their posts, to their missions, to their peers, and to the team. This is the bottom line, and the head of the Hummer team, whenever I see him strolling on the bullet-flying battlefield, I will I felt that he must have put all his energy and thoughts on his mission until the bullet took it away. Starting from the first recruit who fell to the ground because he did not hold the rope firmly, the American soldiers were busy sending the captured personnel to the base, and on the other hand, they tried every means to rescue each wounded, which increased the early prediction of the enemy’s armed forces. Inadequate response caused by inadequate. In the increasingly unfavorable situation, American soldiers still remain rational and resolutely implement the orders of their superiors. Although they sometimes express strong dissatisfaction with the restrictions of objective conditions, they will never affect their sticking to their posts in the slightest. This seems to belong to the Americans. Bottom line. Facing the situation where there is no ammunition and food, there are too many enemies and few enemies. From the commander to the combat team below, they work together. They are a little disappointed but cheer up each other. There is no desertion or collapse. This is the explosion of the instinctive desire for survival and reason. Overcoming all samples is also the inheritance and actual combat of their professionalism and peacetime professional training spirit. I like this war movie very much. This is not a one-man performance of a hero, nor is it a mainstream film where justice sweeps away evil. This is our war against ourselves against the objective environment, which can better reflect the background and team spirit of each type of person in the film.

    "In March 1994, following the complete withdrawal of the United States, one year later, the last batch of UN peacekeeping forces withdrew from Mogadishu, marking the end of a 27-month peacekeeping operation that cost more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. The United Nations handed over the fate of this country to its own people, which seemed to suit China’s appetite. However, the civil war lasted until 2004. In July 2011, half of Somalia’s population lacked food, and 75% of them were not safe to drink. Water, except for pirates, we rarely hear from them. "If you can't solve your own family affairs, is the intervention of outsiders justified? If it is based on internal and external agreement, it is fine; if it is unilaterally claiming "humanitarian relief", it is hard to say. In fact, it is not only between countries, but also between people: If others do not ask you to help, what is the meaning of helping you? Or it can be said that we are doing charity now, but they just blindly ask for money and food. What is the meaning of such charity? "Do you really think that if we catch General Aidid, we will lay down our weapons, accept American democracy, and stop killing?"
