Explore the shocking true story of War Dogs, the 21st-century tale of war profiteering, arms trafficking, and crisis capitalism. From the Iraq War to the big screen, we delve into the real-life events that inspired the movie starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller. Meet David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, the two young men who took advantage of the military contracts system and made a fortune from war. But how much of the film is fact, and how much is fiction? Join us as we separate Hollywood myths from historical analysis, and uncover the truth behind the War Dogs true story. From military scandals to war profiteers, we'll examine the darker side of modern history and the consequences of unchecked greed.
