2. I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this to give a military cadet’s
insight into the movie “The Great Raid”. Every aspect of military valor and
strategy is epitomized in this war film as well as the unflagging comradeship
amongst soldiers. As it is clearly depicted, it highlights planning and execution
of American POWs release from Cabanatuan prison by Japanese in the
Philippines that makes an invaluable learning experience for military trainees.
5. Another thing, the movie depicts the strong will of prisoners of war who were
able to hold on to life and provide an insight about captive conditions based
on psychological and emotional experiences of prisoners. In this primal
colloquy, cadets learn about the human element and other aspects that
influence military operations that create empathy for soldiers in bad situations.
