From the question David asked Henry at the end and Henry's answer, it can be seen that the whole process was actually Afghanistan secretly sabotaging the US military plan. Henry and the missing driver were both spies in Afghanistan. The driver and Henry used a plan to disrupt the Pentagon's military plan. Purchase plan. First Henry made an unexpected appearance and then made a deal with David, the fat man. This kind of help in the snow has the highest success rate, because Henry wanted Americans to buy Chinese bullets from the beginning, and there are many reasons for it (in short, it is good for Afghanistan). Henry's purchase channel is obviously much cheaper, and the US government will definitely choose David and Fatty to deal with it under the consideration of military expenses. Here, Henry's strategy is half successful. Because he expected that David and Fatty would definitely take the packaging route when they knew it was made in China, and arranged for the driver to introduce the packer. It is estimated that the purpose of their packaging was revealed to the packer by the driver, and then the driver disappeared after completing the task. Next, Henry arranged to let the fat man inadvertently know that he made three times as much money as the fat man. Even if Fatty had trouble with Henry, David would have been beaten, so that Fatty and David could turn against each other. In the end, the packager's report made the whole plan a success. The U.S. military has rejected other arms dealers, and now Fatty and their Chinese bullets have not only made the U.S. unusable, but also plunged into government civil strife. In the end, the U.S. arms program failed. Otherwise Afghanistan will face 30 years of US offensive. In the end, the money Henry gave to David should be regarded as a reward for the pawn.

David Packouz: [From the beginning of the film, as Miles Teller's character, David Packaouz, narrates over visuals of soldiers in war and as price figures of what a soldier's gear costs are displayed] What do you know about war? They'll tell you it's about patriotism, democracy... or some shit about the other guy hating our freedom. But you wanna know what it's really about? What do you see? A kid from Arkansas doing his patriotic duty to defend his country? I see a helmet, fire-retardant gloves, body armor and an M16. I see $17, 500. That's what it costs to outfit one American soldier. Over two million soldiers fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. It cost the American taxpayer $4.5 billion each year just to pay the air conditioning bills for those wars. And that's what war is really about. War is an economy. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either in on it or stupid.
