- Boots on the Ground
If you want to see a bunch of mindless, violent war scenes and combat with hot bullets and explosions…this is not the DVD series for you.
If you want to see a more holistic view of warfare, including the inside politics, logistical problems and coping humor…buy this DVD series.
I think Generation Kill rocks because it is not glamorized and goes into logistical and chain of command issues that “kill” grunts with “boots on the ground” more than the enemy bullets.

Rating: - Testosterone
Testosterone is the star of this Iraq War tell all. The Marines are John Wayne all right, so Western Civilization will probably survive. Their enemy over there, it doesn’t matter - the bad guys lose. That’s the way it is - Hoora!
My complements to HBO, Rolling Stone, and Evan Wright, they are so against The War, being card carrying Lefties and all, but they subdued their instincts long enough to actually tell some truths. True, Iraq is not Iwo Jima, but the opponent is savage enough. … Read More
Rating: - Mini Series Looks at Early Days of Iraq War
“Generation Kill” is a seven-part mini-series that looks at the first 40 days of the Iraq War as seen through the eyes of the elite U.S. First Reconnaissance Marines who were at the forefront of the invasion.

We see the confusion caused by a nonuniformed enemy that is able to blend easily in with civilians, and feel the never-ending tension they feel. The documentary shows … Read More

- Brutal, Relentless, and Authentic
As an Iraq veteran I was skeptical about watching this at first, thinking that it would be a “Hollywoodized” version of the war. Then a buddy of mine told me it was by far one of the greatest shows he’s ever seen, so I gave it a go. Halfway through the first episode I was awestruck. Like the title of my review states, this show is brutal, relentless, and above all AUTHENTIC. Though I was with the Army, our job was very similar to these Marines in that we rode around in Humvees searching for the bad guys. … Read More
Rating: - Even if you don’t like war movies
I have never enjoyed war movies but, Generation Kill is fascinating. I have purchaced the DVDs in addition to watching the entire series several times on HBO. The real life Marines are incredible and the actors that portray them have done a wonderful job. Also, the commentary with each episode has given me new insight. Well worth your time to watch this.
