Generation Kill/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • That part where Recon crossed the whole country in about three days and blew through the Iraqi Army so fast they outran their supply lines. That was pretty cool.
  • Bravo standing up to Col. Ferrando to convince him to casevac the kid Trombley shot.
  • Trombley braving an AA gun's massive stream of fire to spot the gun and call in an airstrike on it. Even the other Marines think he's insane - in a good way.
    • The only thing that diminishes this is the fact that it didn't actually happen this way in real life. Because in real life, the AA gun was firing high explosive rounds and the Marines were getting hit by mortars too. The real Trombley still stood out in the open to call in the airstrike in spite of all of this.
  • "Gentlemen, we just seized an airfield. That was pretty fucking ninja."
