5/5 Very true to the book and the military experience.
  by Fish (FL, USA)
This is a great mini-series. It is VERY true to the excellent book and the portrayal of a small group of military men is very accurate. I am and OIF/OEF vet and also took part in Operation Restore Democracy. Don't believe the Bush-Bots. This is well worth a watch.

5/5 Invasion Vet on Invasion Show
  by P. Graham
Convenient product placement the main description points out up top when the pizza comes. Well yes it is, but it is also Pizza Hut that we did in fact get before the invasion. J.Lo's death rumor? Yes, it was a big concern for us before the invasion. Swearing and machismo? Its a bunch of young men away from home in a foreign war-torn land, you'll get that from time to time. This series brought back memories of the invasion I'd even forgotten over time. It shows how people can hate groups of people, but still be close as hell to those types of people because they are your fellow Marines. It shows the confusion of war, the lack of leadership and a plan we often saw, and the vacuum left behind after us and that swallowed us as well. I thought it was great, maybe someone who doesnt understand the lingo, the nitty gritty military details, or the background wouldnt, but I loved it.

1/5 Generation of Political correctness
  by Eric Reynaga
Once again we see how every day that goes by we see how every generation becomes more ignorant, more out spoken about a lot of nothings they know not. Just because they read it in the news paper or watch it on TV or online, it must be true right?
I come from a long line of Marines from me joining after high school to my father being in Vietnam to my uncles in Korea and WWII.

Yes this series has a lot of truths, the vulgarity, profanity the racism, the over cellos Coos, combat senerios, to the rules of engagement.
From how Iraqis are welcoming you with open arms to then trying to kill you when your not looking.

As a Marine in my opinion this series has a lot of Anti-War, Anti-Bush BS! You would think with the internet people would actually educate themselves, that's how Obama got elected!

This is War , war is dirty and war is nasty, but this series make us Marines look like a bunch of un organized morons.
We as Marines are trained to kill, you can call it brain washing from boot camp but that's how it is.
Yes we do have a human side also. No one should be allowed to make movies or write books based on what they think war is, specially if they have never served and actually gone to war!!

This series is garbage! If your a part of the ignorant generation this series will fit you just fine..


5/5 Generation Kill on Blu-Ray
  by C. Ignacio (Oceanside, CA USA)
My husband and I really enjoyed the 7 part series. It was really hilarious, and captivating. It truly showed that Marines are just day to day people, with very interesting jobs. My husband is an active duty Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines. He thought it was great the movie implemented many of the acronyms & terms the Marines use. He had to explain a few of them to me. We've recommended the series to many of our friends, especially our friends who don't know anything about the military. It was nice having seen it on Blu-ray, there are a lot of great scenes, and the special features are awesome.
