- I had to make this compilation of the HBO series Generation Kill for an undergraduate class. I am a former Marine machine gunner who served with 2nd Battalion 2nd Marine Regiment. 2/2 Warlords orrah semper fi and all that bullshit.

"they've set up a mortar behind the mosque and at night they shoot mortars at random" sounds like my teammates on Squad
lmfao unfortunately can relate
Why don't they use "IED drone" ?
In battlefield we call them mortards
Funfact: Mortars killed the most % of people in both world wars.
@@JonathanXLindqviustI guess that’s true if you consider artillery a mortar with a longer range
The way Brad says "reporter what the fuck was that" kills me every time
Reporter, you are possibly the biggest fuck-up I have encountered
I liked also how LT was shaking his head in disbelief, Poke was going "what the fuuuck" and even Colbert's eye cannot stay in the scope :D
I love how quick the reporter became one of the boys
He integrated with them took on their mannerisms. Did you see how quick.he was to hand Colbert grenades or grab walt when he was about to get pulled out. He was willing to do what we could when he needed to.
The reporter was supremely underrated. when Brad said “Even when push comes to shove even rollingstones will pick up a gun and fight. Truth being told he’s completely right. Even Wright was one hell of a badass, even for a civilian
Reporter is probly
Adviser for Derrector
@@markbravo5411 that is some brain dead spelling if ever I saw it
It helped that he wrote for Hustler.
I love the scene at 4:33 the marines all geared up in their gas masks look so badass and intimating but the way they lean in on unison just creates this hilarious contrast from their image and I can't help but crack up every time I see it haha.
dhump132 did you mean to say intimidating or intimating because there’s a kinda big difference
Charlie Brown spell check and sliding text on a smartphone made a mistake. I meant intimidating yea. But like I said I made this comment on a phone And really didn’t check if the spell check made the right word choice I didn’t think my comment would get sixty five likes haha
dhump132 I mean it could also be intimating it just wasn’t the first thing I thought lol...
Now I think gas mask can be intimating 🤣
Me too lol I loved that scene.
As a former Army grunt who was deployed in that country during the same time as what this was based on, many props to the real Marines who served in combat & props to these actors who did a good job in a really damn good mini-movie!
Achim Wurst
America is not, don't be so naive or blatantly stupid.
Get out you're tin foil hats peeeps
+TV Show yes America is
The middle east was just a powder keg. If we were to blame anyone, blame the British Politicians of WW1 trying to carve up the land between themselves.
I was also an Army grunt there. They did a really good job portraying it. It would take a lengthy series spanning several seasons to portray the insurgency.
In that first battle scene he left out probably one of my favorite parts in the series where Fick is talking on his comm and then just pops a dude with two to the chest. Pumped me up.
They also missed the scene from the book where Colbert drives his Humvee into a tar pit...you can see him crawl under it and attempt to whack the tar off, but the actual scene where the tar comes from is not in the series.
I always wondered until I read the book.
Yes I know exactly what scene you’re talking about and it was awesome
This was such a phenomenal mini series, I still remember coming home from work and getting to watch the new episode. Such a fitting ending as well that bittersweet thing going on.
@@whoisjoelsmith ya know this was based on the reporter's accounts with most of the consultants for the series being from the group being portrayed
Now you know. This shit movie.
@@ИнДекс-ф9ъ wut
@@youseff500 Ин Декс is an idiot or just another soviet shit. Imagine, you have a nickname index.
I really like the Doc, he just wants to do the right thing.
He’s annoying asf with his holier than thou attitude
The reporter getting his nuts squeezed reminds me of something similar happening to me in USAF SERE school.
I was at the parachute training portion, which really was just a briefing and a few one-off exercises really. But the one where we practiced descending from being stuck high up (like as if we landed in the top of a tree) did me in almost. It's a platform high up that you just put on a chute harness and swing out off of, then you drop the decent line, detach the harness, and shimmy down the line. Well, I put on my harness and the guys at the station hooked me up and I swung out. Immediately I realized one of the straps that go around your thigh made it's way a bit north and basically squeezed half my scrote against my leg. My full body weight trying to make Nut Oil through an improvised press that was a 1" wide strip of webbing and 150lbs of fresh Airman.
I started yelling "PULL ME BACK PULL ME BACK PULL ME BACK PULL ME BACK " but the guys refused, thinking I was having a panic attack over the fear of heights.
"NONONO ITS MY NUTS"
With the gravest look of concern on their faces, they immediately pulled me back on the platform.
I adjusted and finished the course.
Bonus, I saw a guy do a 5-point parachute landing when he drunkenly ran across a 7/11 parking lot and tripped over a curb. Crazy how that training just kicks in.
That sounds...awful
That made me laugh quite a bit, thanks for sharing.
As an ex-instructor, I always think it is really important to differentiate between a soldier being a little squeamish and a valid medical concern. You definitely had the latter.
Once, during firing drills, I had a recruit with a busted ankle (I didn't know about it) and she was silent-crying during the drills. Thought she was sweating, because we were doing it in fuck-you-hot temperatures, so I just kinda brashly told her to wipe her glasses. Then I saw the tears and corrected my behavior. She wanted to continue, so I told her to take off her vest and only do the drills that didn't put any more pressure on her ankle and see a doctor afterwards (because, seriously, don't train, while injured!). She was happy about that.
Literally twenty seconds later another recruit, who was in peak physical condition, complained about the heat. He got chewed out and we both ran for a bit, when the others were resting.
Ahhh, Spokane, worst TDY in one of the prettiest places
Thank you for your nuts.
@@erloriel Not the same but my karate sensei (a real hard hitter for a 60 year old Japanese man who stands 5ft 4) would turn on heaters during Australian summer. one guy complained and well it pretty much went down the same way your story did
the guy says "i dont want to shoot a farmer." marine in the back ground says " shit, ill shoot a farmer". funniest fucking part ever
If that makes you laugh instead of sickened then that says a lot about the kind of person you are
@@sbraypaynt shut up commie
@@sbraypaynt stfu pog
you find someone wanting to kill innocent civilians funny? What a great sense of humor you got
@@yugatrasclart4439 snowflake
The sound design of the bullets traviling and cracking is what action movies need more of
from 10:20 to the end is a reflection of the current and constant situation in iraq, even though was just the end of sadam´s regime around 10 years ago.
ooo yeah parlo? u sure? 😚
paolo rossi I think ur the idiot here
And that folks is why Iraq is a prime example why anarchy cannot exist without chaos
Because of the power vacuum it caused nothing but even more war from different people who wanted that power
@@tunasandwich8049nobody can control the oil if they're always fighting. The real reason we were there
10:41 the interpreter was very correct on that assessment
I clicked the time stamp and the interpreter simply walked off lol
Legit predicted ISIS
7:30 the sniper didn't shot him because he was too busy laughing!
I certainly had a laugh!
Right?! Its not hard to bound to another street guy
John Dillinger When in doubt, do the unexpected, it confuses the hell out of your enemy.
Clearly
George W. Bush they say if you smile at someone they are less likely to kill you - mad jack Churchill
This series had so many great moments.
If Rickon ran like that he would probably still be alive
I remember, march of 2003, first rotation, canvas doors on vehicles and no armor...f..ing crazy...
Canvas? Against AKMs? Those things will punch straight through the body armor used in 03 and they put canvas on the rolling deathtraps you traveled in instead of something worth a damn? Great logistics.
2:19 Tromley’s spider sense was tingling
He did good in spotting the shadow
that first scene Jesus I don't think I've ever felt so tense in an action scene like that in a long ass time
I need more of this brilliant series. Generation Kill is better than all of the trash currently in this shitty world. Seven episodes is not enough.
poor reporter he's wearing a chemical biological and nuclear suit that's a size too small which can kill him
He was probably thankful then that there were 0 biological, chemical or nuclear weapons in that country.
dont forget there was no super weapon ether.
Well they did say that if you suit is breached you are fucked anyway
STFU. If he can fit in it, it works. At least it's the right colour.
Saddam, his nuclear and chemical weapons equipment and then sent to Iran.
“Hate to break this to you Ray…. *gunshot*
There are no cowboys”
@sjconker64 Alibaba is sort of a slang term for "thief" or someone who is bad. We often would ask the civilians in the towns we patrolled, "Wayhn alibaba?" (translates as where are the bad guys?)
I wish they would do a "prequel" of sorts. They could do one bullet away which is Nate's story and start it how the book does which is him in college. Carry that thru OCS and into Afghanistan when he links up with guys like ice man and would show the build up to Iraq. All that alone would probably make a series the same length as Generation Kill.
Omg. Yes. Let’s call the executives to make this. This sounds awesome. 😅
That look of disappointment, lmfao 4:05
When you are ready to go to school but its saturday
Were all men all know the feeling of that HAHAHAHAHAHAHA balls has the worst pain that man has even you are the strongest one
That was me on our last paint ball games damn kid couldn't shoot cause he forgot to put his safety off😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can feel it behind the mask
The best of Generation Kill! is the whole thing
I love how Brad used the M203 to punch the car wreck aside so he can put two in the chest. Literally 💪
He's a reporter working for rolling stone magazine he follows this marine devision during there tour in Iraq. So he looks different because he is not a marine but a civilian.
Who are you talking to?
@@WalrusWinking lmfao this was almost ten years ago, I have no idea.
@@RobbTZombie Lmao, I just thought it was funny that it looks like you're having a whole conversation to yourself in the comments.
@@WalrusWinking and I have no way to explain why it's anything more or less than exactly that lol. Only thing I can guess is that I had responded to someone and they deleted their comment but TH-cam didn't delete mine.
@@RobbTZombie I think it had to do with Google+ integration with TH-cam in the past. Google+ doesn't exist anymore lmao
When push comes to shove even Rolling Stone picks up a rifle
I should hope so... he used to write for Hustler.
4:18 Nazi zombies confirmed
Lmao the unimpressed, depressed glare
This is a false nude about health and does not represent the truth. I am from Iraq and lived in Iraq. I was present from the American army entering Iraq.🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Nazi zombies is a video game.
علي العراقي what does that have to do with anything
@@lauritorni4879 it was a joke about the way he was running
i can only guess how freaky that was to get ambushed and manage to walk away with everyone alive. at least trombly got a kill
This show was not what I expected but it was awesome!
4:29 was like a metal gear moment right there lmao
Reporter was my favorite. I wish I had a friend like Reporter. 😂👌
4:47 he opens the pliers and the button goes flying then they cut to him still holding the button.
@JackanIke the reporter has a different helmet on and wears a different flak so the marines can differentiate between him and marines. but its the same actual kevlar helmet the marines wear just without the kevlar cover.
aschneider331 doubt the hajis care. They just kill indiscriminately
jack thunderbolt well it’s not like the Americans could differentiate very well between the Hajis and the civies
@@agentc7020 If they run they're hajis if they stand still they're well disciplined Haji's lmfao.
I love Doc's moral compass, but I also wonder if the sort of grumbling he does wouldn't be bad for morale given how much the marines look up to him.
The marines looked up to Doc Bryan for a few reasons. 1 was because he had been given very very good combat training in addition to his high level of medical skills. The Special Amphibious Reconissance Corpsman put guys like him on 1 of 2 tracks. Recon or the SEAL's. Possibly even DevGru. He was probably a more highly trained combatant than they were and had already been in combat wheres a lot of the battalion hadn't. 2 was he had zero quams about telling people above him what he thought. As technically Navy personnel he has this really wierd intermediate place where he gets away with a lot of stuff that normal Marines wouldn't. Young Marines look up to a guy who doesn't give a fuck like that. As for the grumbling I don't think it messed with their morale much because he just said what they were all were thinking, in the aggressive way that they were thinking it. But instead of being restrained like the marines he fires off. In the book he even describes himself as "an asshole."
3:07 “shit, id shoot a farmer”
One of the best book to movie adaptations ever.
''All this is a bomb. If it explodes, it will be bigger than the war''.
Reporter's fuckin running like it's cod warzone LMAO 💀
I loved this series.. So many great moments, Iceman cool AF but has to ask, "Reporter What the fuk was that?"
I did 3 tours with 4 ID including the invasion, and this show is as close to reality as anything.
Shitizens United Read the book three times and saw the interviews with the actual marines portrayed in this film and can say imo it’s the best book to movie as far as accuracy in a long time. As is “13 Hours”.
A memory that will never leave my mind till the day I die, is we were to do warning fires in the ground. So as a convoy approached us, we used 50s so every round bounced off the road and into the cab of the first truck. It was red mist and the back of the cab blew out. than god the truck broke left.. then it went to hell.
I was there, and yes it was.
I shot a guy that we thought had a RPG, and it was a fucking farm tool. I found out when we pushed up. But a week before I had a guy grab a kid use her as a shield and shoot at me with an AK.
@@Rex-ii2yzHow are you?
Got to keep my chocolate chip mop suit. sometimes i just look at it
Thanks for your service Marine !!!!
The music sound track is the best...its the sound of the Marines!!!!!!!
4:32 they deserve oscars based on that performance alone
Lots of moments of light relief , ending with the dark truth of what was to come.
10:30 he was so right
One legend of a mini series.
6:51 single shot Freddy... It just must've been him
Thinking he's blind?
@@synthwavecat96 I have a feeling hes a blind Afghan man somewhere between the ages 60-70 yo and he likes to scare the shit out of us with these single shots he takes.... :D
Reporter really came in clutch holding the gunner in place so he wouldn’t get thrown out the vehicle.
7:50 is the best reaction face to some dumb shit ever.
GD I LOVE the Mark 19 GL. IMO it's the most badass infantry weapon system. So awesome.
Great series
I watched Geеeеnerаtiоn Кill full mоviе hеrе twitter.com/0bda0cd53e5f48b9a/status/795841259025768448 Best оf Gеneratiоn Кill
One of my favorite mini series of all time
You know you are watching a series when camera angel is covering from both soldier and enemy point of view.
these were by no means the best clips of generation kill
The cable channel HBO gave the go-ahead to a seven-part miniseries, based on Evan Wright's book about his experiences as an embedded reporter with the U.S. Marine Corps' 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the Iraq War's first phase. The series is set during the invasion of Iraq, from late March to early April 2003. The miniseries was shot over a six-month shoot from mid-to-late 2007 in South Africa, Mozambique, and Namibia.[2] The primary production value aspired to was authenticity.[3][4][5] The miniseries was produced on a budget of $56 million.[6]
Never forget that Reporter went from 3:56 to being a cold blooded DEVGRU operator in The Americans.
4:06 That is a terrifying sight.
Seeing a guy have his balls pinched by a tight strap on a poorly fitting MOPP suit? Nah that's funny.
The guy that grabs the reporter in the sniper scene is a real one
Reporter?!....WHAT DA FUCK WAS THAT?!
xDD
8:55 "Haribo belladona" XD (English captions ON)
just downloaded this to my computer soo good
Excellent, well edited video. Thanks man 👍
This film is so realistic of what can be expected in house to house combat.Our Israeli unit was many times in Gaza, among all our other borders and in Syria and Lebanon during the wars. In house area we were always on foot though. This film is great.
Best of generation kill is the whole series
I too have *swallowed my chew* at a most *inopportune time.* If that were never to happen again that would be *fine with me.*
Had to gut my first mint dip in an apartment building, had to puke on the way home.
lmfao.. Reporter GO... "runs like an alligator is chasing you" lmfao... that was cute
haha, when that reporter run xD haha..
First scene straight out of call of duty, i have fought through that town many times
Pretty sure COD4 came out after this.
Good eye though!
I thought its Battlefield 2 Strike at Karkand map :D
Can not believe tha came out 10 years ago ?
haha, 10 years ago? What you talking abou... [2008 was 10 years ago and we're closer to the 2030s than the 90s right now]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
That reporter is a beast of a man too I'd say. For what I've seen and been through
I want that poor MK2 Escort, would rebuild it so good.
I've got an '84 Festiva with no engine if you're interested
Me too, I wanted a mk2 escort for 10 years!!
MK19?
DreadNaught0255 it's an IR (infrared) reticle so it wouldn't burn out in the day. It helps see muzzle flashes & reflective or infrared-sensitive clothing.
anyone else see the MK19...shooting bullets...seriously...
Love the scene right at the very end where the credits roll
4:35 when me and the boys found our beans
what's more fun than knowingly riding into a kill-zone. without freindly 'armor'. oorah. Right, Peter Falk: ''Soipinteen, soipinteen!''
This is around 8 hours too short
4:50 yeah those MOPP suits get pretty tight when they don't fit
i almost died laughing of the reporter deviating the bullets
He's a lucky SOB, most seasoned combatants would have dropped him on the 3rd zag.
To this day i swear they shoot better when theyre not looking. Had more close calls with blind fire than i did with house clearing..
2:09 10/10 would draw again
In Beecher's defense putting on a full MOP suit takes a lot of practice. Just lacing up the boot covers takes some skill. The Marines would have done countless drills practicing all the MOP levels. Beecher probably got a brief introduction. In truth, the first time the reporter had to face a gas attack he may as well have been laying face down in front of Schillinger.
The best bit about these American war films is that they always end the same I.e. you leave having failed to defeat the locals
Faarrrk being on that 50 with your head outside the truck
I want to know who thought it was a good idea to leave that poor gunner with no protection at all on top of the humveew
how the hell did they survive that first ambush????
During the invasion they were mainly dealing with poorly trained farmers. In the book, that this series is based on which is based on real events, they described the insurgents fighting as if they came straight out of some Hollywood war movie. Yes, thats how bad the insurgents were at combat.
Many of the people they fought were not technically "insurgents". Some were regular armies. Interestingly, the part where the Marines were ambushed at night, at the bridge, and then killed a bunch of enemies who seemed to have learned combat skills out of movies. The next morning the Marines search the bodies of the fighters. One comment was the men was not regular army; they dressed in cheap but fashionable civilian clothes that wouldn't look out of place in an American university. The men were foreign volunteers from other parts of the world; their passports stamped with the word "Jihad". Saddam was calling for a Jihad against American invaders back then.
Later the Marines rolled into town and came across an abandoned military outpost. The regular military fled some time before that. The Marines concluded that the regular military was contented to send these foreign volunteers out to fight while they themselves were sitting safe and sound in the barracks eating chicken and peanuts.
The bottom line was that the Marine HQ sent them through that town for no reason. And the irregular Iraqis did not know how to shoot.
Joshua, in short, the enemy was not ready. The marines where. They were ready to push forward by any means
Before the War, Sadam's Army had few live fire exercises. Only the Republican Guard trained realistically and had engaged the Kurds and the Assyrians. Literally, they could not shoot accurately and did not understand we owned the night.
Love the serpentine running bit
Still waiting for that statue of George bush
"Now you've won the war, win the peace ".
Jesús, if Nate Fick is depicted as he truly was I'd follow this man anywhere
I love how they just call him "reporter" the whole time
reporter play's bubg... 😂😂😂
*PUBG* IS MY *FAVORITE* GAME
Feel like that reporter is every millennial who's going out to war. References to movies and games and try to blow up buildings with frag grenades.
Tadpole 22 he adapted pretty well, for having zero military training and kept up by the end. Handed 40mm grenades to marines.
Nowadays, millenials are at prime military age, meaning most militaries around the world are full of them. This feels like a cheap attempt at humor through age discrimination.
2:36 That's "Final Destination" film kind of shit.
the real world foresight of the interpreter's last line....
7:30 kids in bo3
They should of shot a warning shot to draw fire and try to avoid being cute little ducks
