An idiosyncratic general confronts opposition from enemies, allies, and bureaucrats while leading a massive rebuilding operation in Afghanistan.
 
No review.  Just a quote from the movie.
 
Gen. Glen McMahon: General.
[shakes his hand]
British Officer: We're all... very excited to see you here; it's an honor to meet you.
Gen. Glen McMahon: I'm excited to be here. Ain't that right, Greg?
Greg Pulver: Yes indeed, sir, you're very excited.
 
Nuff said.
 
FUN FACT:  Despite being an anti-Afghanistan war movie, Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper spoke with The New York Times podcast "The Daily" that "everybody at the Pentagon is talking about (War Machine). It's a very anti-Afghanistan war movie, but the guys who you think would be offended by it, love it", Cooper added. "It's amazing to me. So many of them have lost colleagues, they've lost fellow soldiers and are constantly asking, 'What are we still doing there? What are we fighting for?' But at the same time, we have these officers who say, 'We've lost all these people in Afghanistan, we've spent so much blood and treasure on the ground in that country, and then you just turn around and pull out. What was that for?' It's a contradiction at the same time."
