21、 hit the nail on thehead that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate itand deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance onwhat for them had been an unpleasant reality.Chaplin gavenumerous performances attacking capital governments,satirizing（讽 刺）the cruelty of the machine
