Battle city was unfolded, as the re be cooked up in one series Band Of Brothers. In the film it is clear how the courage and heroism demonstrated by every member of Easy Company in seizing the town of Carentan inch after inch of it. They break through the ambush of German troops and machine gun bullet from Panzer Tank. Each command to usurp the position of the German army in comply with the steady regardless of the risk of death who were hiding among the thousands of bullets opponent. At that point, all fear is ignored and the shadow of death familiar.
But in a military unit consisting of various heads, can not expect all be uniform. Among the various courage shown by the Easy Company that, tucked one exception. Exceptions were named Albert Blithe. Maybe this one soldier who was not really ready to be a battlefield. He experienced tremendous fear. Bullets whistle which almost never stops, mortars boom is heard, the cry of the people affected by bullets, the intestines are spilled, the broken leg, broken heads and various other bad experiences, successfully burying his authority as a soldier. Until then he suffered blindness, which thankfully, only temporary. Blindness is a doctor-by-force is part of the 'Traumatic War Syndrome' or Histerycal blindness, which is the highest level of 'Fear' in the war.
Day after day, battle after battle, Blithe had not moved from the mental slump. Acute fear that makes no one dared to remove the bullet was from his Rifle Round. As one senior on the unity of Easy Company, Sergeant George Luz aware of this situation. And in one terrifying night, Sergeant origin was found Blithe Iowa who was awake in his foxhole. Situations when it is tense. The position of their troops to within a few hundred yards from the German Nazi troops.
According to intelligence, the Germans would launch a counterattack in an effort to retake the city of Carentan on the next morning. So Easy Company had to be alert. Time interval at night which left it utilized the entire army to rest in his protection holes respectively. But Blithe, he can not take that chance. Adrenaline continues to tighten, his eyes remained awake and alert his soul continues. Unfortunately, it all comes from fear and anxiety are very, very big. He could not rest because of continued anxiety.
So Sgt George Luz also make themselves available to accompany Albert Blithe in fear at night.
"How do you feel. . . ? "asked Sergeant George Luz
"Not so good. . "Blithe said. Her eyes still stared blankly into any direction
"You know what is causing the emergence of fear in this battle. . ? "
Blithe did not answer. He just shook his head slowly.
"You know, your fear comes, because you still keep HOPE in you". . Luz said as he lit a cigar.
At first glance, Blithe sank, as well as the time I was sipping a cup of coffee. How can a 'HOPE' will be the beginning of the emergence of fear. I then repeat the scene several times. Maybe there is something wrong with the words of George Luz. But after so many times repeated, the results remain the same. But then again, how can. .? Is not the hope is the beginning of a relentless effort and do not know the end? Is not hope a source of inspiration that can move our body moves automatically to achieve harapai it? Is not hope can make us not care how hard barrier up ahead and then bring up the courage? Some time after Blithe-and I-shocked, Sergeant George Luz resume his words to Blithe.
"I know for sure, you still keep HOPE to meet your family after the war ended. You're still hoping that there is peace, and you become part of a peaceful situation. You're still hoping that after this, you'll be riding a bike with your friends in a quiet town, without the threat of war and the sound of bullets. And you know, that's the actual source of your fear. You do not realize that hopes to enjoy all the beauty and peacefulness that makes you reluctant and afraid to take the risk of death. You're afraid to move, afraid to act because the bullet Nazi Germany could at any time about you. And finally, you could only be locked away and hide in fear. . . .
You know, for us, that hope was gone. We never store it in the heart or even on this head. Death is there beside us now, He will soon find us, sooner or later. So, do the best that you can do. Kill the Germans as much as you can. We never keep hope for a peaceful life. We know, by being here, means we were in the middle of death. And once again, do your best before death came. No need to hide. That is why we never knew fear. . . once again, kill all hope-hope that."
After the lecture Blithe, Sergeant George Luz was moved from the place, leaving Blithe in the foxhole with various rows of thinking. But, I then remembered, that such discussion had ever actually know. In Islam, the Prophet once said to do something well, as if we're going to die tomorrow. This is a discussion of the totality, a full effort to bring hope. . . And also, that the 'absence of Hope', in certain situations can be a source of strength, was conveyed by Chinese artists Sun Tzu's war. Delivery is simple: "Be careful in mice who were cornered, he could become the most dangerous creature in that condition. . "
Somehow Blithe then interpret the words of Sergeant George Luz it. To be sure, the battle in the next day, for the first time this soldier fired his gun toward the German Nazi forces. One shot and then successfully make an opponent who fell down when it was pushed back. The courage it slowly began to rise for Blithe. Unfortunately, it did not last long. In the ambush in a house, he - with courage high, because others are reluctant to do so - had volunteered to lead a small squad of troops. However, a few yards ahead of the house, a bullet fired by a German sniper right about it.
He also fell down and died instantly. . .
