They're not robots blindly following orders and polishing their boots.

他们不是那些盲目地服从命令然后替人效劳的机器人
They're people.

他们是人
Deeply flawed, yes. But deeply human, too.

缺点很多是的但同时也充满人性
And maybe that's saying the same thing.

也许这正说明了他们是人
What struck me most is that, despite it all,

最为打动我的是尽管经受了艰难困苦
the hardships, the stress, the ever-present danger of being killed.

各种压力时刻都有丧命的危险
Despite all that, they never give up.

这一切从未使他们放弃过
They never lie down on the road and let the truck run them over.

他们从没轻言放弃坐以待毙
They wake up in the morning, put on their uniforms and do their jobs.

而是早上醒来穿上军装投入工作
Every day. No pay. No rest.

每一天没有回报没有休息
No hope of ever laying down the burden and letting someone else do the job.

没想过丢掉自身的重任而让他人取而代之
There are no relief troops coming.

没有援军会来
