philosophy in war

All wars are dual in nature, there are wars on the battlefield and wars off the battlefield. And the war outside the battlefield is more extensive, more common, and more important than the battlefield on the battlefield. It is for this reason that those politicians and businessmen do not go to the battlefield, but gain all the glory and benefits that cannot be obtained on the battlefield. The people on the battlefield are always just cannon fodder and tools. For the needs of those people, they are even pulled back from the battlefield and become props for show and fundraising. In this film, the hypocrisy of the politicians and profiteers and the boredom of the news media are very prominent.
And those heroes who have experienced blood and fire will either never come back, or live miserably and die pitifully.

John Bradley: Iggy. Christ, Iggy. I hadn't thought of him for years. How do you know about Iggy?
James Bradley: You were calling for him, when you collapsed.
John Bradley: I wasn't looking for Iggy. I was looking for you. I wanted to... I wanted to tell you I'm sorry I wasn't a better father, talk to you more, I just... I'm sorry.
James Bradley: Sorry? You were the best father a man could have.
John Bradley: Did I ever tell you they took us swimming?
James Bradley: No, dad.
John Bradley: After we planted the flag, we came down off the mountain and went swimming. It was the funniest thing. All this fighting, and we were jumping around in the water like kids. That's the way that I remember Iggy now.
