战争机器 War Machine (2017) Movie Script

...to send an additional 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan.

After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home.

I do not make this decision lightly.

We have been at war now for eight years, at enormous cost in lives and resources.

Years of debate over Iraq and terrorism have left our unity on national security issues in tatters.

And having just experienced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the American people are understandably focused on rebuilding our economy and putting people to work here at home.

Sir.

You got your troops.

Buddy here just announced to the whole of Afghanistan that we are about to abandon it!

That's like telling the bad guys all they gotta do - is wait out the next 18 months... - Yeah.

...and then we'll be gone!

And so he just told an auditorium full of young American soldiers the war they've been asked to fight these last eight years has been nothing more than one great monumental waste of everybody's time.

That was a clusterfuckingly stupid f***ing speech!

Thank you, Greg.

Well, you heard him.

He's not giving us the full 40,000.

They're giving us 30.

I just got off the phone with the SecDef.

We gotta get the rest from our coalition partners.

Looks like we're going to Europe, boys.

So, uh, pack your, uh... Oh, I don't know, f*** it!

Pack whatever it is they wear in Europe.

- Speedos and sh*t! Willy.

- Hmm.

The world stage.
