Satire on the U.S. Army
Loyce 2022-01-07 15:53:35
Admiral McMahon was sent to Afghanistan to lead the battle. The admiral was self-disciplined, talented, and a good fighter, but because he could not get the president's support, the admiral was unable to make a difference. Later, the admiral was removed because of the reporter's bad words. Another soldier was sent to Afghanistan instead of the general to repeat the path of the general. The film is a satire, satirizing the US president who wants to maintain the army in Afghanistan but does not want the army to be involved in the war. This contradiction makes many talented people. It is difficult for soldiers to do anything. On the other hand, it also satirizes the U.S. military's desire to help local Afghans build their homeland, but they are rejected by the locals and unpopular.

Gen. Glen McMahon: [to the group of marines] I've spent the last week or so talking to guys who I would call middle management, but you boys are at the coal face. After all the blah blah blah, *you* boys are actually where it happens. I'd go so far as to say you boys are the only thing that counts. If it doesn't happen here, it doesn't happen, end of story.
[to Billy, who raises his hand]
Gen. Glen McMahon: Yes son?
Cpl. Billy Cole: If what doesn't happen, sir?
Gen. Glen McMahon: *It*, son.
Cpl. Billy Cole: Okay, thank you, sir.
Gen. Glen McMahon: Does anyone here know what "it" is? Anyone?
[silence]
Gen. Glen McMahon: *Any* one?
[points to Ricky who's raised his hand]
Ricky Ortega: To- uh, secure the area, sir? To protect the people from the enemy so they can go about building their lives.
Gen. Glen McMahon: Okay. O-kay. Thank you, Sarge.
Cpl. Billy Cole: Okay, but I can't tell the difference between the people and the enemy. They all look alike to me. I'm sure they're the same people, sir.

President Karzai: Your predecessor, General Whelan! I liked him! I'm not entirely certain he liked *me*; he didn't visit very often. Why was he dismissed? It seems- uhh, one minute he was here- uh, next minute, not here.
Gen. Glen McMahon: Ah. Well, Mr. President, I think our government simply felt it was time our effort took a new direction.
President Karzai: And uh, what is this new direction?
Gen. Glen McMahon: Ah! It's most important to me that we *build* Afghanistan. Together, we build Afghanistan into a free and prosperous nation, free from fear and conflict.
President Karzai: I see.
Gen. Glen McMahon: Yeah.
President Karzai: I see. Sounds a lot like the *old* direction.
