Oh yah, I fuck with a David Simon closing montage. I like how he only uses diagetic music until we get to the end of season or end of show montage.

This show is incredible and so few people I know have even heard of it. Try to bring it up in a group and see how quickly the conversation changes to Band of Brothers (which is obviously very good). Thanks for the reminder. Going to watch it again soon.

Oh man I just finished watching this for like the 8th time the other day. I was listening to a podcast and they had an interesting take on the soldiers leaving one by one as they’re watching the video. Essentially said it’s a morality hierarchy going in descending order. Lt Fick and Brad are among the first to leave and Trombley predictably is the last.

... Generation Kill was about the invasion of Iraq, not Afghanistan.

Granted I’m already fairly young (24) so maybe the more modern era in which the show takes place is what got me, but I found the characters far more compelling than in Band of Brothers.

>The invasion of Afghanistan

You watched the entire miniseries, and thought it took place in Afghanistan the whole time?

One of the craziest comments I saw in this sub a while back was a dude saying watching the show inspired him to join the Marines.
