Pentagon wars or the history of the American cut of budget funds

Pentagon’s war
You can talk about promotion for a long time. Argue whose propaganda is the most propaganda. But it seems to me that among the typical brave agites of American films, where the US Army is the strongest, most powerful and in general, alone wins everything and everyone, this film was not in vain and was lost. After all, it breaks out of the general canvas of cheers-patriotism. The film “Pentagon War”, published in 1998, is based on real facts and tells how the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle was developed and adopted and adopted. Although the genre is indicated as a comedy, but, if you think about it, this is a tragedy. Drama. And there is no happy end. The whole film is a history of corruption, lobbying interests and a disregard for soldiers.

The plot begins with the fact that the colonel of the Brandon Air Force is sent to test Bradley car on behalf of Congress. Without his signature, they will not send the car to the series. In the very first tests of the armor, the car showed itself dignified. But the colonel is not allowed to Bradley to examine it closer. Ultimately, it turns out that it was shot from the Romanian rocket, and she could not even break through the door of the warehouse of ammunition. This is why the conflict begins. The colonel is trying to conduct normal trials, and they interfere with him. The history of the creation of Bradley is revealed. The marks of the head of the design department – “My God, I’m crazy about it” eloquently speaks of her. Starting as an armored taxi for soldiers on the battlefield, Bradley degenerated into the “infantry fighting vehicle – not accommodating infantrymen, into a reconnaissance vehicle, too large to conduct reconnaissance, and with weapons capable of smearing a minute”. When trying to make amphibians out of it – four cars drowned. But this does not stop the officers involved in the development and testing. Money is paid. Yes, and a career needs to be done. So the car, which is dangerous for infantry and virtually useless, was very vigilantly promoted. Until Brandon intervened. As a result of the paper war, the knowledge of the charters and thanks to the help of the developer of the BMP, he achieved his. Bradley project was revised. Referred. But this is a happy ending? No. The system remained. Local, little victory did not solve anything. Everyone against whom Brandon fought, received promotions, or highly paid positions in the defense industry. And he himself resigned. Nothing has changed. The life of a soldier does not cost anything, before the next star on the uniform. Figure was enough, Bradley spent $ 14 billion and developed it 17 years old, but could not make it to become something more than a mass grave. War is a business. And if someone dies, then let. Collective irresponsibility. Eloquently the story of Brandon about the first parties of the M-16 rifles and about a person who has been lying in a coma for 20 years because of them. They were constantly clining in the jungle of Vietnam. As a result, soldiers died.
But besides corruption and lobbying, if we take the American term, the film reveals another problem. This desire to serve, multiplied by army idiocy. It is he who is the reason that Bradley was so disfigured. No wonder there is a saying – “there is no terrible in the army than a fool with the initiative”. Generals who have chickened development of Bradley stretched its creation for a decade. Presenting more and more ridiculous requirements. And the colonel is responsible for the project, in order to become a general, I agreed with everything. And it turned out what happened. And even after rethinking, the car was not as good as it could be.
And you know, the whole history of American weapons is the endless Pentagon Wars. In addition to the cut, the desire to get an increase at all costs, another problem was added to the USA after the collapse of the USSR. For the Americans, the wheel of history stopped. Their weapons are suitable for the democratization of the Papuans. But not for the war with an equal enemy. The United States was supposed to become the sole master of the world, with the most powerful army. This is their sacred mission. They thought they would remain so. But the wheel of history did not think to stop. Like a Phoenix from ash, the Russian army was revived. Steps on the heels of the PLA. The world is once again changing. And I wonder how the US military industry will be rebuilt to new rails. I do not belittle the TTX of US technology, they have formidable and effective machines. But they have problems. As with the most heavy industry, the only US tank factory in Lima is experiencing difficult times. New Abrams are not produced there, but the old. Or generally going to close it. And so, briefly.

There are still huge problems with the Bundeswehr. After 20 years of operation of the G-36 rifle, it suddenly turned out that it was impossible to get out of it somewhere

If we discard the political background and high matters, then we have a light comedy Sinopsis of the plot is very original. Usually in the comedy we are talking about losers, or about unusual people – eccentric. Here – about bureaucracy. I can’t call it satire, it is silent. Satire is, first, of all, a sharp blade, a surgical scalpel, ruthlessly opening and exposing the vices of society and mercilessly scourging it. There is no such thing in the Pentagon wars.
This is a tour of the armored bus on a dangerous ghetto. It seems to be dangerous, it seems to be scary, but you are in absolute safety. You are passing by serious problems. If you need to take pictures. But, usually, you forget. Like this film. Although, maybe they wanted to forget him?
Cinema looks easy and not tense. Jokes are successful, do not roll below the belt. And this is the main thing for comedy. This is of course not a masterpiece, but the film deserves attention. Plus, for fans of the clinic, John plays in the film. Mcginley. I don’t know why I wrote it. It seemed important. Take the time for the movie, you will not regret.

The best comments

I read this opus. It seemed that he was glued from comments.
I can say that I have not watched the movie (already swing) that it is written interesting and exciting.
But I will add from myself. Although the United States has a weapon that is “suitable only for the democratization of the Papuans”, they have a trump card, which, unfortunately, no one in the world. Dollar. World currency. And influence on Europe. Often false and double standards, but such is a policy. Especially world.
Thanks to the competent actions of their “subordinates”, they are not fighting their army, but they are pulled by the peoples who are behind the ocean and the dangers for them are not particularly represented.
These peoples go to war under their flags with their weapons (with a bit of American) for the interests of the country, which they have never seen, in the name of a piece of paper, which is not provided.

They wage war in other ways. We Russians know how to fight and win the old fashioned way – “Fire and Sword”. But so far they have learned to wage a information war only in their country. A pity ..

But we say that we are better than America, admire our country, debate on this topic and protect our homeland, and then we go to eat American food, watch American films, read American books and play American games (in the last alternatives, unfortunately, and there are not enough cinema, as you can see at a neighboring film post

And someone makes you do it? I do https://casino-prive.uk/ not eat in the McDaks and other burgger, I read only classics and scientific and artistic literature, I almost never watch American films. I was offered to go here for a fast and seven. I refused. I will not support the Hollywood conveyor for the production of sequels. Everyone chooses himself. But I personally already begin to despise American culture. I don’t like the false and hypocritical West.

American food, watch American films, read American books and play American games

Lol.But is it right to separate food, films, games and books by nationality? As for me, these are global and stupid things because of what you do not like America, let’s say to stop reading all American books.

I looked at this nonsense of yours on Poklonnaya Gora. Normal such a barn)

The simplest thing is a lot where Russians appear in them in the form of a global terrorist. And we were sowed over this “cranberry” for a long time. So far, in fact, they have not been treated like this.

Duck this is focused on the most stupid representatives of society. A reasonable person will not believe in all this shit. Many interviews, for example, people who lived in a Cold War indeed in any propaganda kintz, painted us as monsters and barbarians, but thank God there are also many intelligent people who do not believe in this. Our news is making similar rubbish. Thanks to our news and why now the majority think that Europe is half the gays, and I steal half of the Muslims.

Which are constantly trying to deprive the license to broadcast in the USA

American experts recognized the victory of Russia in the information war
In the news yes. But we say that we are better than America, admire our country, debate on this topic and protect our homeland, and then we go to eat American food, watch American films, read American books and play American games (in the last alternatives, unfortunately, and there are not enough cinema, as you can see at a neighboring film pustost).

Well, the mass consumer does not want to delve into the intricacies of the relations of the countries. I’m not saying that it is shameful and bad to watch, read, play something foreign. It is bad to believe what is shown there (the same “American sniper”) and hypocrite with the fact that we are the best, and there is shit. The state and people think in different ways. And they have good films. Even here is my favorite trilogy “Back to the Future”.

If these are books promoting their lifestyle. I would be glad for all art to be global, but this. American culture and art (mainly cinema) propaganda to the brain of bones.
The simplest thing is a lot where Russians appear in them in the form of a global terrorist. And we were sowed over this “cranberry” for a long time. So far, in fact, they have not been treated like this.

So there is already an economic and informational war with the United States. Already undergoing a deadllarization of the economy. In fact, while we have successfully repelled all the attacks.
