Any GENERATION KILL fans around here?
What a great show. It's perhaps the truest portrayal of war and warriors that I've ever seen.

1. I'm captivated.
Terrific.

But it's by David Simon, who did "The Wire" and "Homicide", so I knew it was going to be out of this world.

I remember reading the original Rolling Stone article by Evan Wright back in 2005. I was at the DFW airport on 2 hour layover, and was right outside the USO lounge. I kept on seeing men and women in uniform walking by. It was one of those surreal moments.

2. Great series. Better than Band of Brothers?
I don't know, but it's good enough to raise the argument.

3. It's an excellent show
I'm waiting for Captain America to get killed - either by the Iraqis or his own men!

4. I've tried, but I can't.
Maybe after the war's over.
