I've once heard The Wire mockingly described as a sociology textbook. If that's the case, Generation Kill would be a single sentence, bolded and underlined multiple times. How many scenes in a row can we have featuring the military higher-ups' selfish careerism leading to absurd consequences for our main cast?

Realistic, vulgar and thought-provoking, Generation Kill is a gritty portrayal of the first few days of the Iraq War that successfully tosses the glamorous conventions of heroes and epic battles for the appropriate task of bringing modern audiences into the throes of a 21st-century war.

A member of the small circle of honest, important films and television series which catalog America's ongoing relationship with war. After a long and impactful journey, the show -- much like its characters -- does not know how to wrap things up.

Lucid and matter of fact. The emphasis is on truthfulness. The men are shown to be what they are: unique individuals. There are: highly intelligent lieutenants, hard-working and good-natured sergeants and corporals, clueless commanders, incompetent and overzealous captains, psychos, racists, sexists, trigger-happy idiots, opportunists, and more. This is a series full of important details that foreshadow the horror of what's to come in Iraq. Illuminating and frustrating stuff.

My faith in humanity is restored. Would have liked to of seen more of Mr. Potatohead's inexplicably pluralized rants outside of maintaining grooming standards. Interesting how the word unfuck has become firmly embedded in the US army's (or in this case marine's) lexicon. It's going to take a lot of unfucking to get Iraq back on track.
