Generation Kill

[Sparq]

Seven one hour episodes. Gulf War II. Less combat than one might expect from a series about war. Follows a Marine recon unit during the initial (second) invasion of Iraq. Allegedly based on a real unit and their missions. Lots of military jargon, nots of crude Marine banter, lots of typical military incompetence. It's good. Watch it.

I picked it up a while back and enjoyed it a lot.

Need I remind you that he is the best damn RTO in the business? As long as you keep him away from your uglier daughters and your smaller livestock.

Just watched this last week. It's pretty solid, I'd imagine it's pretty close to how things went. I hope it helps people get a feel for not liking it but following orders and the blanket of bureaucracy that the US suffers through daily in all things.

[here is no why]

have been watching it lately... it's on the History Channel now, is it not? 10:30 monday nights.
