Fitz O @FitzO 12h The Pentagon Wars is a quirky satire film that highlights enduring risks in capability development from requirements scope creep to weak contestability. The film is exaggerated for effect, but I think the film depicts how well intended programs can drift away from the intended operational need when governance, testing, and accountability are diluted. The film’s key outlier is pro-discipline, with the need for clear requirements, scientific testing and evaluation, and evidence based decision making. The foundations required for delivering capability at speed without sacrificing effectiveness or budgets.

These all are supposed to serve the American people which is obviously not their priority. It's so easy to spend/waste money that's not yours.

His schtick doesn't translate to the big screen. See more AJ M Jul 7 Very funny movie. I highly recommend it. Cheers. See more 09/21/2024 Corruption in the Government? Who would have thunk it! Military leaders made bad decisions and tried to cover it up and then punished the man who exposed it. Acting is good, but the cinematic movie quality has aged. See more Read all reviews
