Why are people who do dirty work always laughed at? Not kind
5 points, first of all, on the issue of war and aggression, Hollywood's three-point consensus is still too superficial: because the current local wars are against the most ignorant group of religious fanatics, so from a strategic perspective: the United States, this Through local wars, the world...

Why is Netflix's original film so obsessed with war films? If it locks in the style of funny and nonsense, it will not be able to become a satirical classic like MASH, or as funny as killing people with eyes. After all, this theme that almost no one touches is great, but it's a pity not at all.

Everyone just wants to show off, and the show he wants to do has become a pitiful ugly. The little change in expression and language reflects one of his tendons, and the helplessness of 11 kilometers in each direction is not as powerful as all obstructions, only because of the conflict between his self-deeming important duties and the complicated operation of the chessboard. "Netflix+Pete+Afghan War" is a better card than "HBO+De Niro+Ponzi scheme", but they all have a little bit more appeal, and they won't work.

German Politician: Your own vice president has advocated a much smaller and simpler counter-terrorism approach to incapacitate what is estimated to be little more than 100 Al-Qaeda fighters that still remain in Afghanistan to refocus on what it was that started this was in the first place.
Gen. Glen McMahon: Ah!
German Politician: [interrupting Glen] Your analysis of the insurgency there suggests to me that there is no monolithic Taliban. You are spread over the entire country. You are fighting 1,000 separate battles with locals whose principal ideological position would seem to be simply that they don't want foreign soldiers in their village, and that, General, you must know, is a war you will *never* win.
