Good show, love the ending of the series, when they guy says
some things at the end.

love the ending speach in the credits.

Honestly...I didn't think much of GK.
I think it had a whole lot to do with the attitudes of the soldiers. I've heard people compare the show to Saving Private Ryan. Well, from a character standpoint I liked the characters in SPR....I didn't find much to like about any of the characters in GK.
-
I loved the show.
lol, "Whopper Junior!!"
-
Whiskey - Tango :rofl :rock
-
November Juliet?
Is that way cool too?
-
GK was about as close as I've seen a show get to how we acted in the Corps....
I hate Ripped Fuel, btw....
-
I need to watch the show to see how realistic it is but I can tell you that the book was outstanding from my point of view. The book hit the nail on the head describing the life of the front line Marines during the initial push. I have a few Recon buddies that say it's realistic to what they went through. I wasn't Recon but I can tell you that those guys are hilarious to be around, even more fun that your run of the mill Grunt.
love the ending speach in the credits.

I have that same speech on a plague I was given when I left the Corps. It's one of my most prized possessions.
-
bad acting, bad dialoge, and bad action sequences compared to a show like band of brothers.
They lost me after two episodes.
I'm waiting for "The Pacific" to come out, spielberg and hanks surely will not dissapoint.
-
bad dialoge
If you've ever spent any time around Marines in the field, you'd know that dialogue was spot on. Most realistic depiction of deployed Marines that I've seen. Great book, pretty good adaptation for HBO, and extremely entertaining. Most people probably would never conceive that Marines sit around and talk about topics like they did in the movie, but they do--all the time.
BTW, that speech in your second clip wasn't in the series. There was, however, a textbook SEAD Non-Standard radio transmission after either the first or second episode that spun my head--sounded exactly like what we used to teach. The technical detail and accuracy in that show was as good as any I've seen from Hollywood.
-
Stoney,
the speech was in my version i saw on HBO. It played after they watched the guys film on the lap top. It played when credits
started rolling.
-
Hmmm... Ok. I didn't remember that.
-
ahh no wonder I had never heard of it. HBO limited release.

I didn't doubt that it wasn't similar to a realistic marine conversation, just thought that since the acting was pretty poor the dialogue in turn wasn't really great. Not trying to put the marine corps down, but I just didn't really like the way this was made, I am comparing this to band of brothers, which may not be fair since that was such a top notch production. I just thought this series seemed very amature compared to it.
Maybe bad dialogue was an unfair statement, just bad acting, that made the dialogue bad, I'm a tough critic lol. I do have a friend who makes independent films and I help him out whenever possible, gives you a whole new view on films, basically you study every aspect in much more detail.
-
Band of Brothers was certainly more polished--no doubt. It needed to be, given the subject matter.
The best thing about Generation Kill was that it had a very unpolished, gritty feel to it, just like the book. The book communicated how chaotic and fast-paced the OIF land operation was; how confusing many of the situations they faced were; how there were many occasions when the guys were not comfortable at all with what they were doing. I thought the manner in which they made the series matched that. There was no real theme music, just the crypto chirp and transmissions of a SINGCARS radio. The credits almost looked like an afterthought, you having just been thrust out of whatever confused situation the platoon was in during the episode.
What I'll say is that if I was to make a "war movie" based on my own experiences in the Marine Corps, it would look and feel and sound a lot more like Generation Kill than Band of Brothers--on purpose.
-
Great thing abuot this show is Fruity Rudy... he is played by.. the actual soldier in the book cause they couldn't find an actor to play his part as well. Interesting to see him acting out everything the way it happened. Must've been crazy for him to see it all again... also i couldnt believe it when I saw it, I thought the guy was just some character.
-
...Fruity Rudy...
"Gay porn dog--gay porn..."
One of the funniest scenes in the whole series.
-
I finally got around to seeing this one.
I liked it for the most part. It's hard to compare it to shows like "Band of Brothers" because it was a long run for a short slide. There was action but nothing on the scale of WW2 or Vietnam. A low body count is excellent for operations, but not worth as much for Hollywood.
That said, I didn't find fault with the acting, and I thought the directors did a good job building tension and setting us up for the letdowns (like the taking of the airfield lol). These Marines were much like the Marine's I served with, only tougher. As has been mentioned in the threat previously, it passed the smell test wrt "realism."
The one criticism that I have is that the writing suffers from too much perspective bias. If you go by Evan Wright's account, then 1lt Nate Fick, is the only competent officer in the United States Marine Corps. Everyone else up the chain of command, including LtCol. Ferrando is a total chowderhead (though I did like that they at least gave him a chance to explain himself in the end).
I wholeheartedly encourage anyone with any interest in the subject to read the original Rolling Stone articles:

Better yet, read the book (http://www.amazon.com/Generation-Kill-Evan-Wright/dp/0425224740/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247927638&sr=8-2).
While you're at it, might want to read Nate Fick's book (http://www.amazon.com/One-Bullet-Away-Making-Officer/dp/0618773436/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247927685&sr=1-1) also.

Agreed. Reading Nate Fick's book provides some proper perspective that balances out Evan Wrigiht's "perspective bias" that Sikboy mentions. Reading both books you get both viewpoints, and they dovetail together nicely, even though one may place more or less importance on a certain series of events. Probably the reason that Wright made Fick look like the only competent officer was because, to the Marines in that platoon, he appeared to be. Obviously, that insular perspective creates that. One thing I learned was that the more senior I got, the more sense senior-level decision making made. But, ultimately, I think there was a lot of flawed leadership throught 1 MarDiv during OIF, but that's just my personal opinion. I was simply encouraged that HBO had the guts to make that series just like the book presented it, without any sort of agenda.

Sweet!
I agree with Stoney that the bias originates with the Marines involved. It just wouldn't be an effective unit if they didn't think their Lt was the best Platoon commander, and that their Sergeants weren't the best Squad leaders ect. And I loved the portrayal of Fick up to the end, where it appeared to me (and obviously I'm judging a character in a movie not the man on the ground) that he made a political judgment and applied that to tactical orders.

My team leader, an x marine, told me about it its been in the the theaters we are in now. Not just being in Korea, AFN doesn't like to show much bad things to troops, hurts morale. Army has it issues too, but killing the innocent is unforgivable, I wonder if you all know that however many soldiers who did get in trouble were betrayed by a General who told them to set an example? That entire unit was to blame from the highest to the lowest, and people not handing out real justice should have it set upon them too. Just the way I feel at the time....sorry for ranting and understand I don't hate everyone in the Marine Corps, But this Army puke is an infantrymen, until i meet a marine infantrymen I say Army is more high speed :salute

You're going to strut about like a fool just to spit in the face of all the guys in other branches who were wounded or died just the same as Marines simply because you spent some time with them? Classy.

How did you pull this from what I'm saying?
Are you high?

It's the same childish "my team is better than your team" crap. It belongs back in the school yard and has no place when talking about those who put their lives on the line. When it comes to good or bad it often comes down to unit leadership. You can find examples of both in all services. A categorical statement such as yours is by definition false. Holding the position in face of the realities surrounding the circumstances is childish and spitting in the face of tens of thousands of very decent people who put their lives on the line daily. Most people would find your arrogance disgusting, many of them being Marines.
-
Have you even seen the inside of a uniform?
EVERY Marine Ive ever met shares my sentiments.
Its just Army v. Marine Corps pissing match thats been going on for years, pull the bug out of your butt.
Most people would find your arrogance disgusting, many of them being Marines.
HA! Please!
The first thing I heard my Recruiters say was a jibe at the Army guys that have an office across a parking lot from theirs.
Marines ALWAYS make fun of the Army, the Army tries to make fun of the Marines.
Show me where I said I dont respect the Army... I'll be waiting...
Until then, shove it up your condescending arse.

Perhaps I have only had the pleasure of knowing professional Marines who have been matured beyond childish mantras and recognize that each unit, independent of service stands or falls by it's leadership. The ones I know have a great deal of respect for their brother in arms, you can pick your own crowd.

I've listened to Colonels, Sgt Majs, Majors, and a 2 star general make fun of the Army.
I've heard the same jokes about Marines from the Army.
We all respect each other. My best buddy at work is from the 4th ID and we bust each others huevos all the time, and we respect the hell out of each other.
I didn't state ONCE I do not respect the Army, you choose to pick jibes toward them as such.
Soldiers and Marines have always traded insults.
It ain't a new thing bubba.

Thanks for conceding the point.

Like every Marine I know from the rank of Private to a 2-star General that has joked about the Army... Yup...

So while walking along the beach you kick sand in peoples face and shout "I respect you!??
You would have been better off just being upfront and either saying "I am what I am" or "I'm just messing with everyone, I really do respect others"
Saying one thing and doing something else just makes you a dishonest tool. Dragging it out just makes a bigger smear mark on your integrity.

Oh, I know you're right. For the record, I've never lost sleep over a thread. It's tougher to enjoy the sport with all the restrictions.
We always joked around plenty. We also messed with cherries and especially with boneheads who spouted off without thinking. Seriously, how could you expect me not to punk DJ out? This place has been way too mundane to pass up such an easy punking. I probably should have let him off earlier but each time I gave him line he swallowed a bit more. I couldn't help but keep setting the hook. Sorry DJ, even if I did not even provide a reach around, I luv ya. :salute

How did you pull this from what I'm saying?
Are you high?
"If you were in my platoon, I would tell you that your a rifleman first, then a radio operator.".......one huge difference between the Army and Marines is that all Marines say "Im a Marine" the Army says "im a (job type name here) in the Us Army", so you served with some good Marines....My NCOs right now are primarily Rangers or they have been deployed 5 times.....does that make me a Ranger? No it doesnt, but I know I train as if I were one, I can out ruck some Rangers, I use the same battle drills and room clearing procedures they do, but I dont have the school, Army Infantry trains to close the distance between an enemy position and themselves while making it so the enemy cant injure a soldier and we do this every day. We can go back and forth between whos better all day but just remember this, Army has alot more wars and battles under its belt.

0311 Rifleman
I'd argue even Marine POG's are more 'high speed' than your infantry.
Rifleman, so your only good with a rifle.....hmm you motivate the heck out of me high speed. I know how to use over ten different weapons systems and maintain them as well too. Right now Im a rifleman and grenadier, but if that SAW goes down you bet your butt Ill drop that crap rifle for the more lethal weapon any day.
-
I will jump in on this one now and give you my $0.02. The reason we Marines say that we are a Marine are for a few reasons. Number one, every Marine regardless of MOS receives basic, very basic rifleman training. As a matter of fact, you will see the phrase "Every Marine a Rifleman" used all over the Corps. Number two, you have to realize that while being the smallest branch in the military the Marine Corps is usually the first force on the ground in most conflicts and the pride, honor, and history of the Marine Corps is ingrained into our brain housing groups during Boot Camp and continues from there. See, I didn't say all conflicts, I said most, and that is quoting todaysmilitary.com. DJ was a 0311, and while that is your basic Rifleman, they do train with more than just a rifle, I can guarantee you that. I had quite a few friends and was stationed with a few Marines that were 0311's. There is a little motivational tool used by recruiters and others throughout the Corps that says we are the only branch proud enough to give our members our name. You have Soldiers in the Army, Sailors in the Navy, Airmen in the Air Force, but only the Marine Corps calls its own people Marines. Now I'm not trying to trash you or anybody else that has served, is serving, or will serve in any of our armed forces, I believe that anybody who can put on a uniform that represents our great country should be applauded and recognized. But you, I, and everyone else here knows that as long as we have different branches of the military, there's going to be a little ribbing back and forth as to who is the best. Oh, and since you are in Korea now, do some research on the Chosin Reservoir, good history there.

Again, showing your ignorance...
Our Riflemen (0311) use the 203, 249 and the standard rifle [M16-a4, and the M4 variant they handed out to staff NCOs recently]. (Which I am all qualified in)
I was discharged before I could qualify on the M2 and the 240 that our 0331's (Machine gunner) use.
There aren't many Marines that I knew that aren't proficient with just about every dam weapon we have in the field, POG's and Grunts alike.
But keep your head up your butt, it suits you.

Gunna have to disagree with Marines being the first in, Airborne Infantry Divisions are said to be able to be on the ground in hostile territory in 36 hours, and there is a reason why Rangers say Rangers lead the way, all the way :aok The interservice rivalries are very fun to get stirred up in, it in my eyes is one reason why our military is so good at defeating enemies. Brain washing in Basic, not boot camp Basic is the same for the Army, especially Infantry. I have been told by NCOs that they beat up people back in the day for being pogs at Infantry bars, I hate people saying they do the same as Infantry and more when the truth is, they dont even got a clue because to be an expert at Infantry tactics you got to do it everyday the same way. I got alittle grudge against Marines since I came back from Basic, One of my buds said this Marine was talking crap calling me a pansey and things of such nature, hes a truck driver.....I did as any Infantrymen would do and pound his face in :salute

If I want a position taken in the shortest anount of time & casualties are not to be a factor; then i'll call the Marines for an assault.
If I want a position taken but time is not a factor & casualties are; then I'll call for Army Infantry to reduce the position.
If I just want to obliterate the position without any casualties; I'll call my old service: USAF.
