Rules of Engagement


Militarization and human rights are somehow interrelated to one another. It is because most of the time, abuses happened. The main purpose of militarization is to protect the life and dignity of the citizen. To secure human person from any harm and abuses. Eventually, human rights also assert the same disposition with the militarization. It protects every human creature from any abuses.

However, in the movie “Rules of Engagement”, there are some exceptions. Human rights indeed are not absolute. Accordingly, we have also duties that we need to cooperate in order for us to secure such rights. In the movie, violence resulted or resorted to another violence just to save more innocent lives and the honor of the state. It is an obligatory duty to defend and protect the civilians.

Rules of Engagement will teach us to appreciate and value our rights and duties. We might realize that there is no absolute thing in this world except the Truth – God.

The verdict of not guilty on the accusation of murder, I would say he was worthy to have such. Thus, the heart has its reason that the reason knows not. It is manifested with the testimonies and experiences he had during the war. This story must be a lesson to learn and an encounter that is hard to forget. Kudos!
