战争机器 War Machine (2017) Movie Script

I'd cut Helmand loose, sir.

The thing about counterinsurgency is that it doesn't really work.

We tried it in Vietnam. That went well.

The British and the French gave it a shot, trying to hang on to their crumbling empires.

It just hasn't worked.

To me, it would seem kind of simple why.

You can't win the trust of a country by invading it.

You can't build a nation at gunpoint.

For guys like Glen, however, counterinsurgency hasn't worked for one simple reason.

You ready, boss?

Nobody's ever done it right.

Yes, I am, Pete. I sure as hell am.

- Andy?

- Yes, sir.

- Good job.

- Thank you.

Let's lose Fox News.

Won't do us any good to have a bunch of angry perverts yelling at us all day.

- Yes, sir.

- So... we probably need to get to work on this assessment.

- Already written it.

- When?

It's already written. Did it last night.

Needs a little flesh on the bone, but, basically, it's written.

All right, what's it say?
