It's not just Pete's performance that should be questioned

The reason for the four stars is that as the initiator of the war in many parts of the world, the United States has always had works with anti-war themes. It dared to question its own ZF's intentions and dared to mock the self-righteousness and stretchedness of ZF's behavior.

The work itself is also 3 stars, and Pete's poor interpretation of the protagonist's image reduces the value to 2.5 stars. Always keeping the five fingers and steps with high and low eyebrows, large varicose nostrils, and unimaginable running posture, I personally feel that real characters are far from being so ridiculous in appearance, and making fun of a person so obvious in appearance seems a bit superficial.

As a long narration reporter Sean himself has a few very remarkable passages, to the effect:

"This group of people probably thinks they are the most important group of people in the world, doing the most important job in the world."

"I used to think that people have gray hair because of the pressure of their work and the decisions they need to make under pressure; now I think that their hair is graying because of their bones and feel that the highlight moments in their lives are not what they have always hoped for. Then the moment of shining begins, that is the moment when reality is parachuted in front of ideals. But the difference between a faithful person like General Glen and others is that they have the ability to completely isolate reality from their own imagination."

Many people are like this.

How to objectively judge and define one's own beliefs—not only beliefs in the literal sense, but also beliefs in the judgment of the entire world and the entire human group and their interests as a tiny individual—is never able to seek common ground Yes, as for reserving differences, everyone is looking for different channels to express their aspirations and trying to prove that their beliefs are "correct." General Glen’s appeal is through war. His job is to manage war. The tome he read before going to bed is called "The Secrets and Magic of Modern Management". He is a good man in nature. His starting point is the familiar "I am for your good." He took the army to Afghanistan, warned his subordinates not to shoot indiscriminately, conscripted locals for training, and told the locals "We did this so that you have the ability to defend yourself after we leave." The local people were also speechless. After a long debate, there was only one sentence left, which was the one that best reflected the hearts of the local people. "You should hurry up." ..."

The general treats this war as a business. They have meetings with their bosses, meetings with the other bosses, press conferences, small internal meetings, and deal with all parties. The purpose may really be to bring the locals to the locals." Freedom, safety, stability, work". One sentence he has been saying is "We're going to win this." He is determined to make this business: eradicate terrorist organizations and provide local security and reconstruction opportunities.

But this is his personal belief and his personal will. He successfully excluded reality and the will of the locals completely from his own wishful thinking, and pushed the incident in the direction of his personal hope. Naturally, this road was inevitably full of corpses.

One will succeed in everything.

In his beliefs, he is doing good, working hard, surmounting all difficulties, patrolling the streets and alleys of Afghanistan, and also seeking support for talks with the presidents of the two countries. But he has always been obstructed. He doesn't understand why my boss doesn't support me, my colleagues oppose me, and the people I want to help smile so coldly, reluctantly and helplessly.

He forgot to look at the overall situation from his own level. The definition of the overall situation is also the definition of General Glen himself. And his loyal right-hand man inadvertently said this definition, "You're a killing machine, Glen."

    If nothing else, Pete, who is not spicy, is very suitable for acting as a fool...

War Machine quotes

  • [Glen is briefing government officials on the mission in a conference room in Berlin, talking about counterinsurgency]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: [to an audience member with her hand up] Yes ma'am.

    German Politician: [with heavy German accent] General, the US invaded Afghanistan because of the Al-Qaeda attacks on September 11th. This is correct, yes?

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Uh, yeah.

    German Politician: You have been speaking to us now for 45 minutes.

    [Someone in the back says "Lauter bitte"]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Oh, uh, where is the- uh... Oh thank you.

    German Politician: [takes the microphone] Thank you.

    [Says something in German to someone off screen, then turns to Glen]

    German Politician: You have been speaking to us now for 45 minutes, and yet in all of that time, you have only mentioned Al-Qaeda once.

    [Scott Cullen scoffs and takes out his pen]

    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.

  • Gen. Glen McMahon: We hope to launch Operation Moshtarak *tonight*. I need your official consent before doing so.

    President Karzai: [surprised] Really?

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Yes, sir.

    President Karzai: Why?

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Because it's your mission.

    President Karzai: It is?

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Yes, sir!

    President Karzai: Ah. No one has ever asked me to approve a mission before.

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Well that needs to change! This mission *needs* your consent. If we're to win the trust of Helmand Province, it demands that this mission be seen to be of your design. I-

    [the President sneezes loudly and one of his nose tampons fly off]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: I don't mean to be rude, Mr. President, uhm, but it is *imperative* that you begin to take a leadership role here. We cannot win this thing alone.

    [the President shakes his head adamantly, captured by Glen's pep talk]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Without your active involvement, our presence here will never be anything more than a foreign occupation! This is *your war*.

    [the President nods]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: For your country!

    [the President nods again]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Your people!

    [the President nods once more]

    Gen. Glen McMahon: Again, I'm sorry sir, but you need to- behave like a leader.

    President Karzai: But I am behaving like a leader! I'm unavailable. I am as unavailable to you as is your own president. Hm?

    [Glen clears his throat uncomfortably]

    President Karzai: You have my approval, General. We both know it was never really mine to give, but... I thank you for inviting me to participate in the *theater* of it all. And good luck. I wish you much success.

    [the President turns the TV back on]
