Re: 'Generation Kill' offers insider look at the Iraq war
Of course it all depends on the individual's perspective. Obviously not everyone has the same experience over there, but from what I've read the series is a pretty accurate portrayal.

Re: 'Generation Kill' offers insider look at the Iraq war
I had a GK marathon over the weekend so I'm caught up except for the finale. Pretty good series overall. It does't touch Band of Brothers but that bar is set pretty high.

Re: 'Generation Kill' offers insider look at the Iraq war
I watched the finale last night. It was a pretty good series. It gives some insight on the tactics used and not used during the initial invasion, mentality of the RECON division and marines, and the overall intentions of the Commanding Officers. Now, how much is accurate i have no idea.
From an entertainment side, if you expecting some drama to unfold you are going to be disappointed (there are exciting moments, but this is not Saving Private Ryan or Platoon. If you want to see what is going on during the invasion then you'll be interested. I'm trying not to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the last episode. |
