- *Warfare* recreates a mission from Mendoza's time in Ramadi in 2006, focusing on the intense, real-time battle experience of US Navy SEALs.
- Garland stated the film avoids judgment, saying, "The film does not have the agenda you're implying it does;" Mendoza wanted to show America's youth fighting wars.
- The film intends to offer an authentic portrayal of war, though Mendoza acknowledges it may not resonate with every veteran's experience.
