战争机器 War Machine (2017) Movie Script

But it's a war that cannot be won by the virtues of our unassailable military might and power alone.

This war will be won primarily with the unassailable might and power of our ideals.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Forty thousand?

- I'm afraid so.

God damn it. What did we tell you?

No more troops.

Don't ask for more troops. What do you do?

You ask for 40,000 more troops.

Well, Dick, Helmand province ain't exactly about to secure itself.

Probably should've asked for a lot more.

I just thought 40,000 sounded like a reasonable number.

There's no reasonable number, Glen, except perhaps zero.

That's a reasonable number. Zero.

I thought you understood that.

Yeah, this "no more troops" thing, is that coming from the president, or coming from you?

- Of course it's coming from the president.

- Ah.

Why would it be coming from me?

Why do I care if we send more troops over there or we don't?

I don't know, Dick.

I'm just trying to work this thing out.

The president gave me a job to do.

- This is what I need to get it done.
