在这部五角大楼的战争喜剧/战争片中,空军中校约翰·伯顿被指派评估布拉德利步兵战车样品车的效用，这是一种陆军运兵车／侦察车，在其最后的重新设计中，发现其实际上是使乘员置于致命陷阱隐患。伯顿一直试图对它进行适当的实弹装甲测试，但不断被他的临时指挥官，陆军少将帕特里奇阻挠，以便使它在企业中进行定型与生产。
Air Force Lt. Col. John Burton was assigned to evaluate the usefulness of the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, an Army troop carrier/scout vehicle that, in its final redesign, was effectively a deathtrap for its occupants. Burton keeps trying to execute a proper live-fire armor test on it but is constantly subverted by his temporary commanding officer, Army Maj. Gen. Partridge, in order to get it under construction and in the field.
定期枪毙一批文青有利于科技进步，哪怕他已经是海军中校了。民主的力量。男人的正直。我也是在HBO看到的。
