@prabs you should also watch [if you have not] --
Exact same words by my father when he saw the film, just that he added a few pleasantries towards the political class which he has interacted in capacity on the same level and said that '...nobody realizes before they lionise someone, just add a burden on an already long list (leaving behind their friends, subordinates to support a hollow war).'
- The Pacific [HBO miniseries]
- No Man's Land (Bosnian war-film about the civil war that followed after the collapse of Yugoslavia)
- Beaufort
- Walz Im Bashir [2008 Waltz with Bashir -- Israeli film on the 1982 war]
- LEBANON (2009)
The soldiers except one - the opportunist - really wanted to be in the field battling and not be a part of the sham that they were being used for. It shows an opportunist, a man with guilt and a medic who silently endures this (and continues) and their struggle with the word Hero.
