An Iraq War Veteran recently analyzed the action comedy movie, War Dogs, directed by Todd Phillips and released in 2016. The film is based on the true story of two young men who secured a lucrative Pentagon contract to supply arms in Afghanistan. The veteran scrutinized a car chase scene set in Fallujah, Iraq, noting that while the film accurately portrayed the region's danger, the tactics during the chase were unrealistic.
The veteran shared insights from his experience in the Triangle of Death area, emphasizing the threat of IEDs and insurgent activities. He highlighted that in real-life scenarios, combat engineers cleared routes, and infantry units conducted patrols to deter enemies. The veteran pointed out that ambushes typically occurred from the sides rather than a direct chase scenario depicted in the film.
