How accurate is this show?

>>31373630

In what way OP? General attitude during youe time serving or the initial invasion of iraq?

>>31373630
It's anti-war liberal trash that tried to make soldiers look like monsters.

>>31373630
very accurate

>>31373770
lol

>>31373630
Very accurate. Watch the behind the scenes and the interview with the guys the show is based on.

>>31373630
fuckin accurate

Accurate to the throat cancer guy

>>31373630
100% accurate.

>>31373630

Generation Kill has decently accurate /k/ stuff.

There are also quite enough hints, tips and undercurrents that it would qualify as a drinking game for servicemen, only if they wanted.

>>31373630
As a former active duty Marine, this show captures the mindset and general deployment attitute spot fucking on.

I deployed as an 0311 to Iraq in 2005, a little after those guys. it's accurate to a point watching it only brings back memories of my own deployment.

Your dad's a faggot.

>>31373630

I can't watch it because the name "Generation Kill" makes me cringe so hard.

>>31373770
>the soldiers
They're muhreens anon.

Also, the marines were all sympathetic characters, and so were one or two officers. The show wasn't decrying the war, but the mishandling by command and the ROE.

It and Jarhead were the only accurate depictions of the military.

The Book Was Better.

If you are a soldier and not a pog or an idiot... Monster is a safe bet.

99% of people in the military arent actually that intelligent/good looking/witty. Other than that, decently.

POG spotted.

Dude. Combat makes guys suddenly Very sharp and Very crafty Very quickly from the first actual contact with the enemy. And from there onwards they tend to stay that way. Because there is no other way.

>witty
"Rip fuel" does wonders and also strange things on those endless patrols. I think that particular thing was well depicted in GK.

>witty
A funny anecdote: Back in the day WW2 when bomber fleets advanced deeper in German airspace and the first time spotted the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, the bomber crews reported back home that
>A huge bat flies around here
It took awhile for the Allied Bomber Command to take these reports seriously because they knew that bomber squads are flying under influence of strong stimulants to keep them awake, and it was not really unheard of how such medical chemistry makes people see things which are not that real.

>witty
If you watched the GK to the end scene where guys are lifting weights, Cpl Person, when asked why he has nothing to say anymore, answers that no more ripped fuel.

>witty
Experienced officers and NCOs usually have an answer ready for everything. And it comes out pretty quickly.

>good looking
I say it again: POG spotted.

>squads are flying under influence of strong stimulants to keep them awake

Looks like Japanese squads were not using any and therefore fell asleep in the cockpit and crashed in the sea.

Here's the testimony of Honda Minoru, a WW2 Japanese ace.
