In his book, "The Highway War", Maj. Seth Folsom says how he had a similar experience to the reporter with his gas mask. He was chewing tobacco when a gas alert went out and everyone MOPP'd up. Folsom realized too late that his tobacco was still in his mouth. He considered swallowing it, but he was afraid it would make him throw up inside his gas mask. So he had not choice but to use the inside of his mask as a spittoon. Needless to say, when the all clear was given and Folsom took his mask off, there was a nice mess inside it.

We were in the back of an armoured vehicle for several hours on a move and one of our blokes forgot his spitter. With lack of a suitable receptacle within reach, he resorted to spitting it down between his chest and his plate carrier. Permanently turned his uniform brown down the front.
@alexs5744 camel snus isn't bad if you don't like spitting I used it in high-school during classes nobody knew I had it in my mouth because you don't have to spit.
Ya because it wasn't really the Sgt's fault his suit was too small if it was issued to him. He hobbled around and had to cut a strap. He didn't total a humvee/other vehicle or get guys killed, THAT'S a big fuck-up!!!!
At the start they're like "who tf is this guy" By the end they started inviting him to the reunion dinners. I think this is the moment that all their minds changed lmao
He had limited or no training in combat, was at least 10 years older than the others and went in without a weapon and volunteered. I’d say he was pretty badass
Me too I remember it being larger when watching on my tv (obviously) but I know what you mean. Less iconic when cropped in so much can’t see all 3 guys perfectly. Such a great mini series can’t wait to rewatch
As a firefighter/laborer in a chemical plant, i don't know how you'd even see well enough to shoot in those things. Ours fog up so badly you're basically blind. At least with fire hoses you can just spray and pray.
Presumably the only other people alive and able to shoot are also wearing mopp suits, so it’s an even playing field. That’s assuming chemical warfare is actually occurring, and it’s not a false alert
"You on the wall of hero's at WalMart?" Brad replies "If my mother ever distributed my likeness without my explicit written consent, I would disown her." Lol
I feel it's because Band of Brothers was written and filmed in a way that allowed most civilians to digest and understand it, whereas Generation Kill was more of a love letter to the Military, particularly the Marines, so it had such a level of accuracy and detail, most civilians had trouble following it. For non-veterans and those who have never experienced anything around the military, it's like watching a foreign film with a major cultural difference and a dialect of English few speak.
Not enough “hero moments” or America fuk yeah moments. It will always have a following of people that know it’s pretty damn accurate and has so many in-jokes plus it’s Iraq we don’t talk about Iraq.
Not even close to the level of Band of Brothers. Felt like I was just watching a bunch of cringy teenagers cursing for the sake of cursing the whole show.
@@fetti_ "Ok what the hecking hecc, how dare the soldiers on a series set in 2003 Iraq war be bigoted chuds and not wholesome trans-ally bipocs who fight fascism like the avengers."
@fetti_ So... a realistic portrayal of life in the military, particularly life in a US Marine Recon unit that's currently invading a country. I can guarantee you, the men portrayed in Band of Brothers likely spoke very much like what you heard in Generation Kill. It was just turned down a notch or two for the purpose of being viewed by an audience. However, the producers of Generation Kill, which was also a true story, decided to keep the dialog authentic.
During my basic, when we were doing our CBRN training. While we were doing the gas hut drills, we had a guy vomit in his mask from the nerves, and it was the funniest thing. You looked over to check in on the skiddish guy, “hey budd- oh my fucking god.”. When I looked over the eyeholes were vomit covered, so you could tell he completely filled his gasmask with vomit, but just panicked and stood there holding his breath until couldn’t anymore. Poor guy ripped the mask off while the hut was filled with gas and spilled vomit everywhere. The instructors were half pissed and half pissing themselves laughing
@@coppertopv365 Hahaha for some people definitely! For me, I had a genetic tolerance to the gas, so it just felt like cutting onions. But some people were passing out & vomiting.
Damn, haha i love hearing these stories, cause out there someone lived through that and i can just sit here and laugh about it. Btw was i the only one whos nuts were burning during CBRN
Almost didn't complete basic because of those damn masks. I couldn't breathe wearing it! I got where I could hide myself and unseal it and ease it down far enough to take a huge gulp of Fort Jackson's humid air. *HATED that part of basic training!!*
@@mattevans1643 Yes. Drill Sergeant Washington inserted them correctly. He thought it was a _claustrophobic_ situation on my part thinking in my head that I couldn't breathe. It didn't seem like just my imagination to me though!!
@@comrade_commissar3794On the bright, or maybe not bright side those were a lot more basic and could unintentionally be defective from even slight things like facial hair. So honestly they might have been more comfortable when not in a gas attack, but I wouldn’t be caring when the gas did hit. Honestly still would take the modern shit as horrible as it probably is. Least it works better I suppose
@@comrade_commissar3794 Man, if you think these are bad, you wouldn’t like the ones from WW1 where the Canadian pissed in rags and stuck them on their faces. (it's actually not as insane as you think, the ammonia in the urine can actually netrilize _some_ of the chemicals. But still? everytime i think about complaining i think about the centuries of technologies and technique that progress to make it just a little less hard.)
"I forgot to spit out my tobacco." I felt that in my soul. I did the same thing going on air in an SCBA (fire suit) when responding to a casualty on my ship. That was a rough day.
This is the beginning of the end. This is why McChrystal had his guard down while he had a reporter in his outfit. Thought he had Even wright, so.eone who played the part, was also from roling stone. Thought he was gonna have a book and tv show. Boy was he wrong!
The sight of soldiers in NBCR gear leaning in is terrifying. When you can't see their eyes and they don't make a sound other than the gear moving to look at you just says "this isn't good"
I picked up several things while watching this: 1. Glasses pretty much guns down all four people in that car and I believe he is based off of Mike Vining, which if you know about how badass he was, makes sense. 2. Kate is very much inexperienced as the movie shows, but one scene that I think was done the best was when she is shot in the caves just before she goes after Alejandro. She is hesitant and recoils to every shot, meanwhile her friend, Reggie isn’t because of his experience in Afghanistan. Most likely, he had to do something similar to this and pairing those two together in the tunnels was interesting. 3. When Kate is confronted by Alejandro at the end, Alejandro is wearing one glove on the hand he holds the gun with, that same gun is Kate’s service weapon. He meant it literally when he said that she would be committing suicide because that’s the story they would have made. 4. Kate aiming at Alejandro was her trying to convince herself and Alejandro that she was a wolf, but she realizes she isn’t when she lowers the pistol and can’t kill him. 5. The very last scene at the soccer game kinda reminded me when Kate was on the rooftop watching the gunshots in Mexico. A very big chickens head was cut off and now people are scrambling to fill in that position of the dead chicken. 6. Same thing with the end, I believe the wife of the cop who Alejandro kills on the road closes her eyes and sighs, knowing her husband is dead. This movie is jam packed with little moments like these that make you understand more of the film if you pay attention, this movie is just outstanding.

Agreed
Surrounded by it, you become it, product of your environment, adapting to survive.
That or you fold.
Him Serpentining and all the guys being like "he's insane, he's def ours" was iconic
The lean in and then them leaning out once they figured out what was wrong was hilarious
The creaking of rubber as they did was just perfect sound design.
Yeah what a knee slapper...🙄
Peak comedy, without being comedy. 😅
Wearing a MOPP suit is already a pain in the ass in garrison, can't imagine having to actually have one on in combat.
We were wearing those things in the early 80s. No not fun and that was nothing Where we were.
We played soccer in them in Okinawa. About 80 degrees out and 80 percent humidity. 9th engineers.
