The girl put flowers in the muzzle of the soldier's gun, and the soldier smiled slightly, and then she fell to the ground and died
War is something no one wants to see. Since ancient times, wars have always led to sacrifices and even affected the domestic economy. However, there are also some countries that like to provoke contradictions. Beginning in 1955, the United States went its own way and continued to join forces in the Vietnam War. However, in the face of the national war of resistance in Vietnam, there is no hope of victory. Soldiers who had been gone for many years also began to feel anti-war.
This war itself is a war of aggression launched by the United States. Unlike the anti-fascist war in World War II, soldiers could hardly find any sense of mission in the war, and they enjoyed peace for several years after the Second World War. Now we must leave our country and fight a meaningless war for our country.
Over time, the soldiers fell into anti-war sentiment. Some even escaped the war by self-harm, and some even kidnapped officers excessively and threatened them. In short, the U.S. war of aggression at that time was like falling into a swamp, neither advancing nor retreating. Relative to the front line of military unrest. What's even more frustrating is that their "backyard" is starting to catch fire.
The protracted war had a serious impact on the U.S. economy at the time and led to the breakdown of many families. The people already hate this senseless war of aggression. Many spontaneously took to the streets to protest, hoping that the government would end the Vietnam War as soon as possible.
After several large-scale demonstrations, more and more people were emotional, and anti-war sentiment in the country was extremely high. Nearly half of the people took part in the march, which began on May 4, 1970, at the University of Kent. The rally called for a truce for the U.S. government.
That morning, a female student at the University of Kent in the United States came to a soldier with a bouquet of flowers, smiled friendly at the soldier, and then put the flowers in her hand into the soldier's gun. The soldiers also seemed to understand what "flowers for bullets" meant to girls, and even smiled at girls.
The girls then took part in the student march. At that time, there were more than 3,000 students in the parade. In addition to the large number of people, the scene was chaotic. The police had released several tear gas to deport them, but to no avail. In the confusion, some students even threw things at the guards.
With a burst of gunfire, angry guards fired a total of 60 rounds of ammunition, and 13 students in the procession fell to the ground and died. Including girls who deliver flowers at the muzzle of soldiers' guns in the morning. It is said that she was holding a bouquet of flowers until the end.
The U.S. government's acquittal of the guards who fired the shots made the United States even more resentful of the war. More and more people took part in the march, and the United States had to withdraw its troops from Vietnam to quell public anger. This brutal war was ultimately summed up by The Defeat of the United States. It's a pity that the kind little girl with the flower arrangement can no longer be seen.
