Generation Kill is a 2008 HBO television miniseries based on the book of the same name by Evan Wright, and adapted for television by David Simon, Ed Burns, and Wright. The series premiered on July 13, 2008 and is set to span seven episodes. It is produced by Simon, Burns, Nina K. Noble, Andrea Calderwood, George Faber, and Charles Pattinson.

I have had a few friends who have served tell me how authentic they felt this series was. It is simply awesome. If you have HBO you must watch.

I remember seeing that vid here before

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Saw the season finale last night

Seen every episode. Its good, its different.

I want to say you cant beat Band Of Brothers, but its a different time, different war, so you cant really compare

But overall it was worth the time, it was pretty interesting...

True, hopefully this would be as good or better than Band of Brothers.

Over There > That shit.

I felt no connection to the characters what so ever, and so had a "Who gives a fuck what happens" attitude while watching it..

Although Over There would be even better with less of the "at home drama" scenes..

I think my favorite character is either Iceman or Ray. Ray is fucking hilarious.

I found the book to be offensive. They probably dumbed down the film version.

It's basically saying we got a bunch of psycos running wild in Iraq.
