Here’s a scene from The Men Who Stare at Goats. I’ve had this suspicion that this is what a lot of critics think of when they hear COIN.
As an aside, what I wouldn’t give to see this scene reenacted with Gen. Petraeus in the Jeff Bridges role. THAT would be killer…
Perhaps you need to begin a mashup web meme with this clip (á la the infamous “bunker scene”). Then you CAN have Petraeus (or his voiceover) performing in “Men Who Stare At Goats.”
