@@iamzed3934 Mini series, film, who cares. Why's everybody gotta be so "well actually" about everything? When I first saw this, there were 7 DVD cases of the show - so I'd hardly call that a mini series. Does it matter? No! Because it's all about the singing, baby.

I met Fick once, very nice man. I asked him about this and he said it was constant. Also, am I the only person who also has sang Skater Boy like a Person?
That's awesome. Nate Fick is a personal hero of mine. His leadership skills are absolutely necessary in his new job, just as much as they were in his old occupation. Utmost respect for the Marines, he's a also a theorist in classic Ancient Greek literature.
Ray is my favorite character. James Ransone's performance is underrated as hell. Yes, all the singing and ranting about NAMBLA and pussy is hilarious, but especially near the end he has some incredible dramatic acting. After leaving Baghdad, he completely transforms as a character into a much quieter, almost depressed and burned out dude. His crying and screaming during the football game as he tries to fight Rudy (a guy he has been nothing but best friends with all campaign) is heartbreaking. Evan Wright's book goes a little more into Ray's story. He's a highly competent RTO, possibly the best in the battalion, but he is constantly fucking around and goofing off because at his core he doesn't really respect recon. He basically joined it as a joke and doesn't take much of it seriously. Basically he thinks he's better than the others because he doesn't buy into the cheesey moto "oorah" Marine culture. Hence his outburst of anger with Rudy at the end of the football game. TLDR Ray is possibly the most complex character on the show and Ransone did an amazing job portraying him.
One thing I love about GK is the LACK of music. Outside of at the very end there are no songs trying to set the mood like you'll see in many movies and shows
At 8:53, Total respect between the Lieutenant (Lt Fick), and his platoon sergeant, the Iceman Brad Colbert. The best kind of commanders serving in that conflict, were often at that level. Both men were promoted. Colbert retired as a Master Sergeant in 2006. Nate Fick is just accomplished - he wrote what is considered one of the best books about war from the junior officer POV - one of the most engaging stories and historical records (it's both) I've ever read: One Bullet Away. Anyone and everyone, should try to buy it and read it, if possible.
When watching the best ones are Lovin you and Tainted Love. They really lighten the mood and are just so hilarious. Especially the la la la la la part of Lovin you and Ray waiting for Colbert to do the claps in Tainted love 😂
I kno right? I love how when hes singing tainted love and then stops singing pointing over at Brad and when he finally gives in and claps the beat he’s soooo happy and does a lil fist pump
I have never been in the military exept in volunteer youth corps a short time a few years ago when I was around 16 years old. Goddammit I wished that I could have a career in the military, but I can't because of physical/medical issues. When I watch Generation Kill, it pulls a little at the heart strings.
I would loved to see Ray singing “It wasn’t Me,” Shaggy, “Again,” L. Kravitz, “”Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” JLO, “Follow Me,” Uncle Kraker , & “Kryptonite,” 3 doors down. Prequel “Generation Kill,” Afghanistan Invasion?
Unfortunately, Evan Wright wasn't attached to them during their Afghanistan Exploits...they also didn't operate on a battalion level there, acting more like the Recon Marines they are. So there'd be a lot more small team, observation type missions, not driving around being bored XD
