i did it! i watched the first episode...ok well i watched most of it and fell asleep but Generation Kill is incredible! once tennis is over, and hopefully before the Canes game i'll be able to watch some more, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this mini-series. there were so many aspects that were reminiscent of Band of Brothers, The Wire, Three Kings and Jarhead, but the show and it's characters maintain an identity, plot and focus like no other program i've seen before it and loved every second of it. the entire show -well the 50 of the 68 minutes i saw- were unbelievably funny, probably because the shocking and bitter truth of what these men "went" through was unbelievable. i commend David Simon, the cast and crew and HBO for bringing stories like these to light. but more than anything i am thankful, grateful and honored to have actual men and women dedicating their time, skills and most importantly their lives to the service and protection of the United States of America. politics is a messy business, but the protection of freedom is even messier and i'm glad that every division of our armed forces is doing what they can to help clean up that mess.
