Generation Kill on HBO
Just got to see the first two installments of the new series on HBO, Generation Kill.
I thought is was pretty good. Funny. Made me wonder if that is how it's really like for some soldiers.
Kinda reminded me of a modern Band of Brothers, which I really liked.
What do you guys think?

Clever dialogue. Pretty accurate on how harsh the marines talk to each other too.....(race, sex, etc.......)......
I only saw the 1st one so far (I think part II just came out)......So far, so good.

I was thinking about recording that, but I expected it was just going to trash the whole war effort and the military in general. I expected another Stop Loss type show. Did I jump to a bad conclusion? If it's an interesting portrayal and leaves the politics out of it I give it a go.

I watched a few minutes of this, a day or so back.
I thought it was interesting.
When I first walked into the room, I didn't know what channel the TV was on.
My son told me that it was HBO.
Is it a series?????

I didn't think it bashed nor glorified the war.
