The news that the Taliban came to power, the US military retreated, and Afghan civilians chased planes, and the frequent headlines successfully aroused my interest in the history of the war in Afghanistan.
Today I would like to share a few films about the war in Afghanistan
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > Lone Survivor (2013).</h1>
A true story about the Navy SEALs fighting the Taliban in the Afghan war from an American perspective. Recreating the battlefield in the form of a biography, the political background of this film is not too much to tell, and it is more focused on the war itself.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the election, the U.S. Marine Corps Joint Special Forces conducted a series of thorough investigations of the jurisdiction. In a troubled region, former Taliban leader Ahmad Shah took the opportunity to grow bigger and become a thorn in the side of the United States that it was eager to get rid of.
According to the tip, Shah's armed forces were hiding in a mountainous area, and the SEAL reconnaissance squad went to search for intelligence, but their whereabouts were soon discovered by local shepherds, who, although ordinary civilians, posed a problem for the squad. With the execution of the shepherd, the squad will face a court-martial trial; by releasing the shepherd, the four U.S. servicemen could be plunged into an unprecedented catastrophe.
After a difficult decision, they were finally released, which led to a frenzied siege by the Taliban, and in the end, only Marcus survived the squad.
There is a saying that describes Afghanistan as: Afghanistan, known as the "graveyard of empires", which great powers have ever broken sand here?
Three British invasions began in 1839; the Soviet invasion in 1979; and the American invasion in 2001. It can be said that the war in Afghanistan has never stopped.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > Kajaki: The True Story (2014).</h1>
This Kajaki is the story of a British squad against the Taliban, interspersed with parts of the background of the Soviet invasion of Russian occupation.
In September 2006, a 3-man reconnaissance team in Pallas set off from their outpost, overlooking the Kajaki Reservoir in southern Afghanistan, to participate in the fight against al-Qaida in the Taliban.
As they crossed a dry riverbed, one of them unfortunately stepped on a landmine that had actually been left behind during the Russian occupation about 25 years ago. His comrades rushed to his side, only to find themselves surrounded by an unknown number of mines, and every step they took could result in serious injuries or even death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > Hunt bin Laden Zero Dark Thirty (2012).</h1>
"The Hunt for Bin Laden" is one of the most political aspects of the Afghan war. Focus on the U.S. Decade of Counterterrorism and tell the story of one of the world's largest ever hunts and killings.
After the 9/11 incident, which shocked the world in 2001, the United States launched a hunt and hunt operation, targeting osama bin Laden, the number one person in al-Qaida. A capable female agent from the CIA who was sent to work at the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan devoted 10 years of her life to the only task was to find os-laden.
It wasn't until May 1, 2011, that U.S. SEALs infiltrated Pakistan based on her intelligence to carry out a beheading operation, successfully killing Osama bin Laden.
The film provides a wealth of information about Osama's arrest until his death.
All three of these films are U.S. war stories around the Taliban, and we'll see you in the next issue to see more movies about Afghanistan!
