“We cannot help them and kill them at the same time,” says Brad Pitt’s super confident general in this new trailer for Netflix’s fact-based, absurdist War Machine. “It just ain’t humanly possible.” Inspired by the book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan by the late journalist Michael Hastings, the Netflix original movie stars Pitt as General Glen McMahon, described by Netflix as “a man caught up in a modern-day war machine that keeps on churning, seemingly to no end.”
