So many scenes I had experienced something similar.

And a complete POS as an RSM.

The other thing to do is watch it be focus on listening to the background dialogue and chatter, so ####ing good
To be fair



the same comment could be expressed from those storming the beaches of France in 1944. The series was brought to life from - mostly - the same people that made Saving Private Ryan...which is universally respected as the film most accurately depicting D-Day in spite of the cinematic flair.

By all expert accounts and analysts, the depicted Brécourt Manor Assault was brilliant.

I loved Band of Brothers, and I think it is the more rewatachable series. But there is something so viscerally realistic about Generation Kill that will never leave me.

I also love the conversation comparing the two. Probably the most win-win debate there is.
