>LOOOOOOOOVING YOUuUuUuUu
GK is too comfy not to watch it once or twice a year
shut the fuck up whopper jr.

The book and the show just make eachother better.
Wrong war

It looks fun when you're sitting on the couch in air conditioning.

Rodolfo "Rudy" Reyes is the only correct choice. He's beautiful.
If you were in a non-clusterfuck unit, it was easy.
If you were in a clusterfuck unit, the real invasion was the friends you made along the way.

For the people who didn't die and in units that didn't get smashed up sure.
>Nope, not retarded enough!
For me it's police that cunny.
Listen up gents
I read the book after the show and i agree. Evan Wright is a gifted journalist, everything he wrote is pure strange entertainment.

Almost nobody died before Saddam got Shoah'ed. Most of the dying happened afterwards during nation building
>it’s been 10 years since my deployment
fuck
I watched this show recently. As someone with 0 military knowledge, am I retarded or was it kind of hard to follow anything more than the broad strokes of the plot?
Don't miss it. It was better under Dubya than Barry and Don
I can see how it would be difficult to follow if you’re not familiar. The box set dvd came with a whole glossary.
If you were at least a marginal shithead you could also understand it
I don’t miss it, I’m not one of those “I’d go back right now if I could” guys. It’s just weird to think it’s been a decade already.
Yeah, only 139 Americans died in the invasion period that Generation Kill takes place during. A couple thousand more die during the occupation (thank you based Paul Bremer and de-Ba'athification). I remember when Iraq/Afghanistan War casualties finally overtook civilian 9/11 deaths, took years. Interesting to see at the time how media coverage of our casualties influenced public opinion about the occupation.
I was a navy seal when inwas in the army. Yes it was fun. Me personally killed 100s of filthy sand niggers. I also perdonally assassinated Hussainwhen I fired a rocket out of the f18 I was flying.
>They were calling me that?
>Interesting to see at the time how media coverage
Because CNN would replay one shot of a downed guy from 16 different angles and all the ex-vietnam protesting boomer hippies would slurp it down without question.
>Paul Bremer and de-Ba'athification
I firmly stand by my belief that we should have just JDAMmed Saddam's house then let the country collapse.
Do you ever think you should have been cannon fodder in some pointless war?
If you were in a squad led by your average academy-taught officer, you probably would be
I don't get it. Quick rundown?
First guy was asking if you'd die if you enlist as infantry.
The answer is that leaders taught by old, career instructors like the military academy are morons because they spend years studying things like the Civil War and WW1 where men would just line up to die
Camouflage-pill me on The In-Laws.
Is it a worthwhile movie?
Also, how did Beecher escape from prison?
It took me 3 tries to finish the whole thing. Glad I did though, it really is a great show. I think it's supposed to be one of those shows that get better on repeat viewings.
It was always weird to me that it was always big news if a soldier died during the occupation period. Like there were so few deaths that the news had time to show the face and name of every soldier that was killed.
>Like there were so few deaths that the news had time to show the face and name of every soldier that was killed.
That's why it was effective propaganda. CNN would show Cpl. Shmuckatelli's dead face and then announce his home town, address, blood type, and SSN, then jump to a shot of his crying mother
Rinse and repeat
IIRC, the X-Ray shit that Amazon does included some definitions of acronyms. Or maybe I just Googled everything and I'm remembering wrong.
You have to watch the wire to find out
I said Beecher, not Ziggy.
>doesnt understand the value in studying the operational movements and battle strategies of the civil war
The absolute state of grunts
Oh, you need to watch daredevil season1 to find out.
whatever happened to the days of thousands of soldiers dying a day in war
you get some war now and you don't get 1 dead soldier a day
bring back world war 2
Aspiring infantry officer here, how can I be like Fick? He seems based
Read his book or watch some of the interviews he's done, he's a liberal homo irl
Honestly, that kind of is the plot. Their orders keep changing and they keep getting fucked up missions that sometimes have no reason.
One of their missions before taking Baghdad was to seize Al-Qut and its bridge, but they fail to do so in time and the higher ups try to spin it as they were just leading a feint.

Doesn’t mean he’s a bad officer. Yes liberals in general are a pain to be around but some of them are still god at their jobs
