Snipers have always been legendary fighters on the battlefield. For example: "Soldiers in the City" Soviet Red Army legendary sniper Vasily Zaitsev and Finland's "White Death" Simon Heyer; Another example: Patrick Ferguson did not snipe Washington and Henry Tandy did not shoot Hitler. The characteristics of its military profession are not much to be desired.

In all this, snipers have become the focus of the modern battlefield, and the reason is that in the conflicts in the Arab world, with the collapse of the regimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, and with the collapse of Ben ****, Saddam, and Gaddafi, the US war in the Arab world has developed to a later stage. Guerrilla warfare, fragmentation warfare, and war of terror are the main threats facing the United States.

"American Sniper" was filmed against this backdrop. Although the film focuses on Chris Kyle's growth, in the face of guerrilla warfare in which all soldiers are soldiers, American soldiers begin to relive the pain of the Vietnam War, and the protagonist becomes a victim of this pain. Some Americans want to live well, but they have never had a well-formed concept of living well and letting others live well.

13 Hours of Crisis is an expanded version of American Sniper. In the Middle East, Blackwater has been forced to change its name due to various events, and the film seems to be reversing the image of American veterans. The film is a plot success due to the continuity of events, not only showing the six American GIs, but also showing the complex social and psychosocial state of the Arabs after the United States intervened in the life of their country. But there is no future for itself without an autonomous social entity, and the future of the Arab people is still a long way off.

Only the Syrian Assad regime and the Iranian regime have not been overthrown by the hostile regimes of the United States in the Middle East, but the United States does not dare to overthrow them. Because once these two regimes are overthrown, it means that the long, distant strip of land from West Asia, Afghanistan, the Middle East and North Africa will be completely thrown into chaos. At that time, due to the influence of religion, an "Arab empire" that is not an "Arab empire" will be invisibly created, and this area, which is similar to the ancient "Arab empire" in terms of geographical location and geographical area, will be controlled by terrorism and will become more and more difficult to contain.
