Generaton Kill
 

Generation Kill is a new mini-series worth checking out. It follows the highly trained Marines of First Recon Battalion through the first 40 days of the Iraq war. Just finished watching the first three episodes. Hardcore.

Yessiree, my boys are BAD!! They showed this at Camp Pendleton a week before it came out on TV. I haven't seen it yat, but it's the buzz here in Iraq and back in the states!

Seen the first episode, love it!
Did you know that Fruity Rudy is playing himself?
There is also another dude that was there, but someone else is playing him and he has another role :confused:

This one will be up there with Band of Brothers and Over there.

To bad its only 7 episodes.

i don't know about this. I hope it dosn't have the usually Hollywood spin

I'm just downloading my 1st episode. Tomorrow or maybe sunday I'll be giving my words about it.

It doesn't. The show has two technical advisers who were there and another Marine who plays himself and the whole thing was documented by an embeded reporter, so I think it's authentic as a TV show can be.

The best comparison I can think of would be the brutal action of Blackhawk Down and the accurate portrayal of Band of Brothers where they show the mistakes and the incompetent people right along side the victories and heroes.

Black Hawk Down and Band of Brothers are one of the best military shows I ever saw. Probably I'll be adding to it the Generation Kill.
Speaking of TV shows, it is a shame that Over There just got one season. I watched the 9th episode and it has solid characters and a hell of a good action scenes. Some drama too, but who can run from that?

Not to mention, some of the original Marines who were written about got in trouble for speaking out about the incompentence in their command. Now I REALLY wanna see this!!!

The 1st episode didn't get me excited, but maybe it is HBO. They have to make an introduction of all the bunch. I'll give it a chance for the 2nd. I hope there is some action.

And Frank, did someone mention that you Marines looks all the same? Huahuahuahuahua!

Yeah, a Bunch of Insurgents in Fallujah told us that once........ONCE!

:eek: :D
