Netflix description: "Inspired by the best-selling book 'The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan' by the late Michael Hastings, 'War Machine' concerns a four star, 'rock star' general whose lethal reputation and impeccable track record vaults him to command the American war in Afghanistan.

"Determined to win the 'impossible' war once and for all with a radical new approach, the general and his motley staff of commanders and press advisers race across the globe navigating delicate international alliances and troop requests, the charged battlefield of Washington politics, the voracious appetite of the media, and the day-to-day management of the war itself — all the while struggling to stay connected to the lives of men and women out in the field."
