Generation Kill 1x3 REACTION | Part 1 | "Screwby"

- Here's my reaction to Generation Kill 1x3 "Screwby"! This episode focused a lot on accountability and responsibility. And the misapplication of those things! Of course, there was also the usual lack of supplies of leader incompetency - a wonderful cherry on the top of a poop sandwich.
I am also in love with Fink. Thought you'd like to know.
I definitely would like to understand more about what goes on in Trombley's head. I don't want to dismiss him out of hand and what happened in this episode was mostly a mistake... but still? I'll reserve my judgement as best I can.
Fink and Brad "Iceman" Colbert remain the only people I have faith in. Certainly not Godfather.
I don't want to compare Generation Kill to Band of Brothers or The Pacific but judge it as it's own standalone project. Still, they are comparable and it is interesting to judge the merits and failings of each when compared.
Please free to request anything you'd like me to watch. TV shows/films, trailers, music videos, performances, interviews - whatever! Just put it down in the comments.
Please remember to like/sub!
Recorded next GK episode, 3x Barry episodes and 1x Chernobyl episode. :)
The Pros.
Yeah for me this is the most closely realistic to my military experience, trying to do the right thing in the face of lack of resources, incompetent officers and constantly changing orders. War is chaotic. Always amazes me how the media think everything is orderly and perfect. Decisions taken in the moment can be picked apart at leisure by critics without having any understanding of the situation.
"Saved by sheer Incompetence" best way to sum it up. You honestly try to do the right thing and try not to get your people killed. In reality, you really don't want to hurt anyone. This is why I gravitated towards my current beliefs. The video, A message to humanity, was what I felt but couldn't verbalize. You try to do the right thing in a fucked situation. I know there is some hate towards Officers but honestly some were pretty good. The unfortunate thing is they get treated like Lt. Fick and more "confidant" Officers take charge. Unfortunately, this also happens on the Enlisted side as well. My nickname for those kinds of Individuals was "Dentures" moving up command quickly.
This show is a good microcosm of the whole invasion in the early 2000s
Goes to show you can be pro-military but anti-war, especially with the mountains of incidents where coalition forces had rules of engagement that might as well have been as effective as wet tissue paper, resulting in unacceptable civilian death and suffering
Glad to see you back! I was starting to get worried.
Don't worry. ❤️
Can’t wait for part 2!
I love this show, I’ve had many friends that served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They tell me, taking out some creative license, is dead on.
It always seems like from this show and their stories it’s all run like a business.
Incompetent brown nosing bosses
One awesome boss who won’t get anywhere
The one weird guy in the office
A few Hard workers
And the masses just trying to get a paycheck
she back
10:21 Well you've nailed it
Tealeaf seems like a good cat.
I think we would all like to marry fick dudes cool as hell.
Crush on Fick? Is this a good time to say check out Stark Sands' singing as a broadway star?
As a big musical fan - absolutely!
@@JulietteReacts He was the OG Tunny in American Idiot and the OG Charlie Price in Kinky Boots! Enjoy
@@alphapockets god I wish I'd seen that
It is tragic comedy for sure. Kind of like In Bruges but real life kids getting killed. The journalist is us, he saw this or some things like this happen.
God, In Bruges is just a masterpiece.
Kudos to this series for showing the difficult shit..... the civilian casualties and loss of innocent life..... Iraq was a straight-up cluster fuck. Vietnam in the desert!
Your kitty clearly requires head kissies and ear scritchies.
You are absolutely correct. I'll get to it!
One of the problems here is the units you are seeing are members of USMC Recon while the officers are not, so there is a disconnect
Love your reactions😘
Here is your next task: React to Encino Man.
Shoooosh!
again i think i said this in a pacific episode but
"unlike the pacific and band of brothers. Generation kill is a diffrent kind of show.
this isnt propaganda that is trying to show the honor and glory of the US military. its more a
show that shows us U.S. citizens that war today isnt as black and white as it was in the beginning of the century. it kinda shows us how complicated. yet still simple war can be in the 20th century... and reminds us how bad we can in trying to be the good guys by holding a mirror up to our faces about both sides of action. both between the bad decisions of guys in the field, leadership and good decisions by guys in the field and leadership. and then the enemy's point of view but im still jealous about your developing a crush on nate fick hahaha
not a big fan of the double nouse ring, you know what they say
Yayyyyyy
Do lone Survivor =]
I imagine it’s pretty difficult to watch this series as a non-American. There’s just so many references and slang terms that are esoteric, even to the rest of the English-speaking world.
And how do you think the NATO Troops that went over there later would talk?
u still look like you care
i cant believe im jealous that you have a crush on LT fick...
Not because i want you to have a crush on me.
but because your slowly losing your crush on CPT Nixon...
like if you were crushing on Alexander skarsgard, sure but NATE???
really???? like if i ever meet the actor that plays nate fick
i might fight him over this lol hahaha
and the worst part will be standing over him saying "I did this for Juliette Reacts"
and him being like "i dont know what your talking about broo...."
When diplomatic means fail, as they have for thousands of years... How do you feel about people that get killed because the enemy uses school children as a human shield? FIND THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE!!!! Humans. Don't discondone you fools, PROVIDE A SOLUTION
Holy feminism! wtf happened to ur face between the Generation Kill reactions. Holy shit
First! :P
Ha! Sorry you aren't getting Part 2 edited until tomorrow. It's 4:23am and I need to sleep.
@@JulietteReacts That's alright. I know it's technically unlisted, but I couldn't help myself. Had to look, because I've been craving some new videos from you since I finished watching Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Mostly looking forward to this, Barry and Chernobyl. Hope you're continuing all three. Especially Barry, because I love that show, lol. It's a nice comedic relief mixed with drama and action.
@@JulietteReacts Ohh, and have a good night! :)
@@sandercohen3309 I recorded 2 Barry episodes yesterday. 😉 Just want to get ahead with GK recordings/edits etc before I do more.
@@JulietteReacts Awesome possum! I'm just glad you haven't forgotten about us or this channel (though I understand that life can be crazy outside of TH-cam, especially these days)
