It is also a movie set to come out March 4th 2016 starring Tina Fey, Margo Robbie, and Martin Freeman. It is based on a book but it is not based on the 2007 Whiskey Tango Foxtrot that was about photographer Ashley Gilbertson&#8217;s time covering the war in Iraq. Nor is it based on the popular 2014 break out novel by\u00a0David Shafer. It&#8217;s actually based on\u00a0<i>The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan<\/i> (2011) by Kim Baker.<\/p>\n<p>Confused yet? Don&#8217;t worry about it. Watch the trailer below and enjoy. It looks like a lot of fun but may also have some more heart than I&#8217;m use to seeing in Tina Fey, especially in a feature length movie. I was big of hers on 30 Rock and I enjoyed Bossypants (2011) quite a bit. I know she is capable of having really sincere moments on screen\u00a0and I hope she embraces those moments in this movie.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Trailer (2016) - Paramount Pictures\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dxAcIWDi8ps?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whiskey Hotel Foxtrot is a euphemism in the military for &#8220;what the fuck&#8221; &#8211; much like the standard WTF of civilian life.
