GREEK INDEPENDENCE WAR of 1821

As today at 25 March 1821 the Orthodox Greeks officially started the revolution against the ottoman empire fighting turks and their allies [muslims from albania,bosnia,egypt,croatia,algeria,tynice etc] to end a 400 year old tyranny and genocide.
Their motto was "Freedom of Death" and in few areas where the turks never manage to invade was "Win or Death".

The Battle of Jangsari (2019) a War film based on a real story:
During the Korean War, a group of 772 student soldiers led by a guerrilla task force commander is tasked with staging a diversionary mission at Jangsari Beach in South Korea, in order to deceive the North Korean forces into thinking the opposition forces would launch a decisive invasion there. In doing so, they would be able to pave the way for the Incheon Landing Operation. Meanwhile, an American reporter and war correspondent covers the Korean War and tries to get help from the international community as the soldiers struggle to accomplish their mission due to a lack of proper training, weapons, and adequate food and supplies.
The mission was to attack Jangsari Beach, and cut off the North Korean Army’s supply chain but it's a suicide mission because the beach was full or wires-mines and bunkers with machine guns.Those teenagers with less than two weeks military training (NO Marine style exercises), tossed into combat without suitable equipment, sufficient provisions or ammunition not even a serial number to identify them!

Decades later one of the survived students stands in the same beach and shouting the names of his dead friends.
