In "Saving Private Ryan", several people in order to rescue the last of the three Ryan brothers, the U.S. military sent an elite squad to rescue them, it seems that no matter how you look at it, Ryan's group of people are quite unlucky, but this aside, as Ryan's family, after their brothers sacrifice, they can get a large pension, but do you know how difficult this pension is?
First of all, you have to leave evidence, such as you died on the battlefield, you have to have evidence to prove your identity, like dog tags, and some other things, if you are blown up by the cannon and there is no slag left, like the sniper at the end of the movie, then, this is not dead, if you don't find anything to prove you, you can't be considered a dead soldier, you can only be treated as a missing soldier, and you have to die on the battlefield.
If you are injured on the battlefield, and then, you are carried off the battlefield by the medics, in the hospital or in the process of carrying down the fart, sorry, these are not considered to be killed in battle, but counted as ineffective medical deaths, which is why in "Hacksaw Ridge", Dawes saved so many soldiers, it is estimated that those dead soldiers will hate the dead in the hospital.
In the movie, the captain played by Tom Hanks did not die on the spot after being hit by the Germans at the end, which is not a dead soldier. There are also soldiers who died in the landing battle like in the movie, if there are medical soldiers running to save you, even if it is to give you a gauze, these can make you not count as a dead soldier, it can only be regarded as a death in the medical treatment, not to mention the death in the later battle, many of which are not considered dead soldiers.
Of course, this is all good, and there is another harsh requirement, that is, you must be killed by the enemy, if not by the enemy army, but by some things, such as being killed by mines, being killed by enemy shells and other non-combat deaths, these are not considered death, but can only be regarded as non-combat deaths, since it is non-combat, from their requirements, these can not be classified into the ranks of dead soldiers.
There are also non-belligerent soldiers who have died, these can not be counted as dead, we see those war movies, American soldiers so heroic, in fact, most of the people's so-called heroism, may be hoping that they can die on the battlefield, because dead soldiers on the battlefield, the treatment of fallen soldiers is very good, their families can fully live a middle-class life, so this is why the evaluation standards of american soldiers are so high.
