What gives Jin-tae the right to kill 25+ North Korean men at the end scene? all probably with own brothers, sisters, wives, son and daughters at the end scene, that is not right doesn't matter how much you love your brother, thats evil

So if soldiers dying is pointless, then how about the tens of millions that were killed and wounded to destroy the Nazi regime? It seemed well worth the cost considering diplomacy doesn't work all the time and Hitler was in no favor for it either.
Its military life for you. They recruit you because you're fighting for your country by risking your life, something almost 90% of the population of your country won't do. Being a soldier isn't the same like any other job where you just work and get your paycheck.
Let the world change the punishment for sexual-related crimes to execution
I think he was trying to say war is generally pointless. So the deaths within it are for no reason.
shareAt that point it's not about how much he loved his brother. It's about delivering his promise to get his brother out alive, even at others' expense. In midst of a battle, each soldier's sense of humanity vanished. It became all about survival. For Jin-tae, one part of that survival was ensuring his brother would get out alive.
To Jin-tae, war means protecting his promise, which which was made from the moment he went into that train to save him, to keep Jin-seok alive. He risked his life each way just to get a medal to get his brother out. It makes sense that once he realised his brother was alive, his sense of purpose would return with great force. No one else mattered, not even himself. He knew if he didn't do anything, NK soldiers would kill his brother, which would render everything Jin-tae had done completely worthless.
However, I think you should condemn him for shooting unarmed enemy soldiers earlier in the film, though. What he did in that case was morally and legally wrong. Condemn him for that, not the last battle scene.

I don't think he cared at all about who he was killing unless Jin Seok came back home safe. That's why he shot them, and the main story was about the brothers' relationship, and it shows the older brother's sacrifice to give his younger brother the best possible future. War has no morals.
sharewell the fact that The North koreans invaded the south and the fact that they killed innocent civilians, the fact that the north were brainwashed people(look at what they did to jin-tae) and that if he didnt fire back at the evil North Koreans they would have killed his brother too
shareThere is no "North Korea" or "South Korea" or "Communists" or "Democrats" for Jin-tae.
He doesn't give a hoof for such things.
He fought for the south 'coz he got taken by the train, he got captured by the North and they put him on the front so ended up fighting again.
There is NO evil in the situation and neither is Jin-tae Evil either.
All that mattered for Jin-tae was his little brother.
What gives "____" the right to "____" is a silly question and paradigm,
literally any thing can be fit into it and made to look legitimate or illegitimate.
