The movie is about the men in the Restropo platoon. We get the inside view of what goes on during the war. The documentary was uncomfortable to me. Their goal was to make us feel like we have been deployed with the soldiers of Restropo, and it truly made me feel that I was there with them. The reality is really terrifying, especially seeing what the soldiers go through. I do not agree with the way Captain Kearney interacted with the village. There was no thought for those people. I was also mad about the whole cow incident too. The worst and probably one of the most powerful scenes was during Operation Rock Avalanche when one of the platoon's best men was killed. It is sad that America has to go into war in the first place, but even worse when they are trained to stop thinking. They lose respect for people and forget all of their emotions and thoughts. Their only thought is protecting their self, their country and their family.
War is a mess of a place. That is why I do not believe in it. There are definitely more ways to solve the issues between countries. I feel that the only reason that a country should have military is for protection and to keep peace. Although soldiers keep our county safe, I do not believe that war should be the answer. And even though I still hate war, it is not the fault of the solider that does the killing; it is the fault of the countries that are in war against one another. If there is a problem between countries, the UN or other organizations should make laws or solutions to the problems. If a country does not follow those laws, then the UN can decide what to do with them. In my eyes, there is much more to life than being angry at people. I try to see the best in everyone, even if they have done wrong.
