Editorial Review:

Description:
From the director of ' 'Made In America' ' and ' 'The Money Pit' ' comes a hilarious look at one of the most expensive blunders in military history. Over 17 years and almost as many billion dollars have gone into devising the B.F.V. There's only one problem. . . it doesn't work.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pentagon Wars
This is a very funny film which shows the mockery of how certain personnel in government departments throw taxpayers money away on frivolous projects just so that they can outwardly justify their jobs and future prospects. Kelsey Grammer, a highly ranked officer in the armed forces working at the Pentagon, does a excellent job in keeping a very though provoking and eye opening subject at a sidesplittingly humorous level.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A funny, sad and true tale of the military procurement system
Years ago while attending a Defense Management College course, the Bradley M1 vehicle was one of the case studies used to illustrate the pitfalls of bad program management. This movie depicts that case study in a very funny, but truthfully sad way. I highly recommend it for anyone that has experience with military procurement... either from the government side or the contractor side.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Truth on DoD purchases
The movie is the story of the development of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and why things never seem to work the way they were intended. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen showing how NOT to do project management.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pentagon Wars
It is so funny its hard to believe that it could be true. Kelsey Grammer is the spitting image of so many of todays upper management. As the old saying goes," s--- rises". The bad part is that so many beleive they are really doing something good. For any past military veteran this movie will bring back nightmares and funy moments in your careers. The scene about the test using the armory door was so true. So what about the results of the test, who is going to buy the new door? A perfect example of S.N.A.F.U.
