Nah you suck special Olympics level of wiener and GK is better than your favorite show
Doubt it, my favorite show is Scrubs
t. jarhead cuck
This, it's a great show, the reality of war is that all those dudes are mentally fricked and most of the time sitting around wasting time and not knowing what's going on

>why do 19-25 year old men find themselves regularly repeating phrases they were indoctrinated with during a couple years of stressful training?
It's preferable to characters suddenly reciting stupid screenwriter "military character" poetics.
I would have preferred a quip filled dialogue accompanied by quirky eclectic sound track and a diverse cast of unlikely characters
>OUCH, THAT'S GOT TO HURT
>MY MONEY IS ON POTATO
>BOOM SHAKALAKA
>YEAH, THAT JUST HAPPENED
i read all those quotes in GK character's voices kek
Those guys are my age and we all talk like that when we are together.
You can't stop us.
100% of jarheads i've interacted with are living charicatures

I hated you homosexuals then and I hate you homosexuals now. The only ones I hate more than you are the homosexuals who are actively trying to put on rank.
What about your friendly neighborhood greenside doc?
I told my peacetime marine uncle that I had fun when I was deployed and he called me a pussy and shook his head. He did 20 months in the 80's as a never-fleet remf and bases his entire personality around his time in the corps. I bought him the ka-bar sword as a joke and he actually thought it was awesome and hung it up in his garage.
Your uncle sounds like a badass tbh
He is, just not for anything he did in the corps.
>hung it up in his garage
that thing is cool
But that sword is awesome
>I told my peacetime marine uncle that I had fun when I was deployed and he called me a pussy and shook his head. He did 20 months in the 80's
This is quiet literally every single fricking boomer. The only ones who actually had it rough in any service are giga boomers who had to serve in Vietnam.
The vast majority of the >muh service boomers are peacetime Black folk who handed out payroll stubs or did other POGshit.
he's going to cut your balls off with it
>they make Ka-Bar swords
cool
Neither of you spelled caricature correctly.
with zogbots in general it's still >80% that are living memes
Generation Kill and The Pacific are good testaments to the decline of Hollywood. Both tried to recapture what made Band of Brothers good and both failed. They reek of the directors presuming their own quality.
>Both tried to recapture what made Band of Brothers good
bruh
You don't think that's true?
no, you can literally see that David Simon carried over themes from the Wire into GK
one of the main ones were he portrays the police force as a career and not a calling
BoB is americanised Hollywood sentimental dreck where they invent events to increase the dramaturgical value of the series
GK portrays the soldiers as clock punching morons that are just doing the job for the same reason mcdonald's workers do
>BoB is americanised hollywood sentimental dreck
Fricking thank you

>we soldiers are heroes

>we soldiers are morons
Why do tankies (trannies) hate the military so much? I work with an insufferable commie b***h who always complains about the military. But somehow they would embrace the red army if that made a comeback
>Why do tankies (trannies) hate the military so much
They're the goons of the plutocratic elites. See the banana republics of the 20th century, as well as the war profiteers who got rich off the Iraq invasion and perpetual occupation.
>would embrace the red army if that made a comeback
Hypocrite or historically illiterate
Cause the military ain't gonna do or let them do the revolution. If the marines or the army wanted to turn commie they wolud be on their side in a flash. Look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_communist_uprising_of_1935 when they got a tiny bit of the army to support them, they launched a uprising in Brazil. Got ass blasted, commies always think they're more popular then they actually are
Commies don't follow principle which is why they're all fricking hypocrite scum
I am against the existence of the professional standing army as unlawful
But I am absolutely for the militia (organised and unorganised both), being members of the community standing under arms for righteous causes and to defend the nation
have a nice day
God bless you bro
genuine subversive propaganda campaigns, you might have noticed an influx of these opinions of late
Because you lost, again. People don’t like being on the losing side. And a lot of them are vet’s unironically (not tankies just military haters) who are assmad about losing or how they were treated and the internet is a microphone. If you killed people and watched your buddies die and it all ends with a missile strike that blows kids up while the brass calls it totally righteous dude while the guys on the ground die and then everyone just forgets you’re going to be upset. Vets were this mad when Vietnam ended, they just did drugs and committed crimes and joined bike gangs instead of b***h on the internet.
Desert storm was a W. Iraq 2003 was a W because the government we installed is still there
>dude all your buddies will die and you'll have PTSD
like a 0.001% chance of that happening, especially now. being in the military was a net positive for me.
I’m sure it was and most the people b***hing are being somewhat dramatic but it still makes sense they’d b***h. They still saw the commitment and how it ended and some gave more than others. All gave some some gave all, a lot of dudes spent years genuinely believing the top brass and all that shit on tv, makes sense some of them would be vocal about it.
Based and truthpilled
>Easy Company never “saved the israelites from concentration camps”
You are exaggerating the difference. At their cores they are the same.
Which is the same?
Motives? Characters? Themes? Virtues? Message?
Compare the camaraderie, the most basic theme they portray at their cores. I find them world apart.
>both shows have guys in uniforms with guns
>it’s the same exact thing
LMAO, the adult take is that "The Pacific" is the superior WWII kino.
Pacific mogs BoB
but band of brothers is your typical israeli produced drama
>band of brothers
>good
every character except the psycho philosopher dude was unbearable
Generation Kill is quite literally the opposite of that.
They're 3 completely different series, jesus christ
>Band of Brothers
literally in the name, it's about camaraderie and putting faith in your fellow soliders
>The Pacific
war is nothing but unending horror and will turn even the best men into broken husks
>Generation Kill
war isn't what you think it will be and will mostly be boring and you'll get fricked over by incompetent leadership constantly
fricking idiot
each are superior derivatives
Huh?
I don't remember that at all, I remember them reluctantly accepting their orders and heavily criticizing their commanders.
Every marine is a caricature
>Every character is a charicature
And it's 100% accurate
Hoorah lmao
Eating Chef Boyardee out of the can heated by the Iraqi sun while your buddy is spilling it all over his face sounds like the most foul culinary experience imagineable.
I trained an 18 year old new employee a few months ago and he reacted with disbelief and disgust when I ate a can of beefaroni with a spoon, right out of the can. He didn't even know what Chef Boyardee was.
>Is that pasta in a can? That's disgusting!
>>Well, I wouldn't call it pasta, really. It's Chef Boyardee. It's a meal I can eat with a spoon in 3 minutes, it's good on the road.
>I've never seen that before.
>>You've seriously never had Chef Boyardee before?
if you eat that shit not on the road its weird, have to agree with your employee here
It’s a pro-Junta, Amero-fascist dick suck. It’s both propaganda and pandering for flag-waiving redneck viewership.
They know exactly who their audience was.
Stop being surprised by this.
>Generation Kill is propaganda
You have to be moronic to actually believe that
Why? The anti-war message is completely overshadowed by the constant reinforcement of specifically Marine exceptionalism. Their audience doesn’t care if they’re dropping munitions 20kilometers off target. All they hear is “we’re Marines.” Same thing with The Pacific.
The point was to connect with an audience who don’t care about the ideological disconnect. You think some soft, Midwestern neoLiberal banker type is going to sit back and watch this? If you do, think about what moronation really looks like (just look in the mirror).
>constant reinforcement of specifically Marine exceptionalism
>"what's danger close?"
>"oops I shot a kid while trying to shoot at some animals lol"
>"we just drove for hours in the wrong direction"
>CO keeps collecting AK's and shooting them at random things
>gets stuck on a bridge and can't communicate to the rest of the convoy to fricking back up
That's real Marine Corps exceptionalism, HOO RAH right guys?
100%
You just found out what makes us so special.
>us
what's your favorite flavor?
the green ones
>The anti-war message is completely overshadowed by the constant reinforcement of specifically Marine exceptionalism
This is such a brainlet take. The guys are constantly regurgitating the "hoorah Marines are the best" shit that was hammered into their heads in boot camp, but every other Marine outside of /ourguy/ and Iceman are shown as completely incompetent.
Hey now, Ray was a good driver.
he was primarily a great radio guy wasn't he?
>dude [woke movie] isn't woke the characters are just regurgitating the wokeness that was hammered into their heads by modern society
What the frick are you trying to communicate here.
That the post I quoted is a copout that can be used to excuse any shitty agenda driven writing
>sergeant major throwing a fit about mustaches out of reg in the middle of combat
>DURRRRR THE SHOW IS FLUFFING THE AMERICAN WAR MACHINE BECAUSE THEY SAY HOORAH
PO-LICE THAT HARD DRIVE
Funny that potato head is doing that to just piss the marines off, reinforcing Ray's theory.
This is one of the most literally moronic posts I've read on here in a while. As in, I think you may be clinically moronic, sub 80 iq.
eat my shit

I think fruity rudy was a decent solider as well if I recall correctly
it's hard to watch Generation Kill and think

Hmmm, pretty accurate.

frick i hate the whole 'muh elite force' thing that every movie and show about the military has to be about. BoB is paratroopers, pacific and GK are muhreens, even fricking Saving private ryan is about rangers.
thats why the most based war movie is Kellys Heroes
just a bunch of NG slobs and hippies go on a quest deep behind enemy lines and say lots of funny lines along the way.
frick that movie is based. Im getting drunk and watching it again tonight.
They even convince the Germans that were sent to repel them to simply accept a share of the loot and go away.
Donald Sutherland was great in that.
Frick, I think I'll watch it tonight while getting drunk as well. Make a thread.
>Make a thread.
im in europe so its already evening, you make one when you start watching and I'll post in it
Heh, I'm on the west coast, it's 11am here. You'll be in bed.
I'll still make the thread.
i'll post in it if its still here when I wake up
cheers fren
t.anon here
just finished the movie
god its so based. dont forget to make the thread.
GK at least took the piss out of the whole muh elite force shit; characters constantly shitting on the marines, Ray specifically calls out “the moto bullshit” like the dress blues dragon sword advertisement. Was a nice change of pace from your usual zogged war film dreck.
>Kelly’s Hero’s
You are correct; this one reigns supreme.
>Army Airborne and Marine Recon are special forces
Not really. They're a step above some guy on a 2 year contract but they're not some elite force that no one can get into.
>Army Airborne and Marine Recon are special forces
where did I type that?
Right there in the post you typed
never called them special forces, reading difficulties-kun.
Marines are basically on part with Army Rangers. Recon Marines would be like Delta force
Source: marine
They must have brainwashed you real good to think Marines have anything on Rangers or thinking Recon is anywhere close to Delta.
uh yeah they did i joined the military didn't i?
You Marines have a good sense of humor
how many times did you get the silver bullet ?
>t. Private Gomez
What do they do to you guys in boot camp. No other branch is as gung ho about themselves as a marine.
t. former sailor
Sailor aint shit.
Army goes through like 6 weeks of basic then infantry school + airborn + rainger is only like 18 weeks total. Marine basic is 13 weeks, then infantry school is 8 weeks.
>sailor ain't shit
Getting a respectable job after you leave is
GK was accidentally redpilled. I refuse to believe it was intentionally redpilled but it got close to the wire a few times.
the point is that the "elite" marines were being used incorrectly by the glorychasing higher brass and had to eat a shit sandwich the whole time, both due to their own incompetence and the incompetence of their superiors. And they still get to win the war thanks to their technological superiority. It was both a celebration and a condemnation of the American machine.
why would you ever think it was accidentally redpilled?
and by "close to the wire" I mean the border of what's acceptable, not the crime show I've never seen and have no interest in seeing
That's why Platoon is the best
platoon is very, very good, dont get me wrong, but kellys heroes is the most based.
but yes, NG for the win.
Royal Marines are top notch, better than US Marines. Not sure why but British soldiers are better than Yanks in every capacity hell the Seals are trained by SAS
Royal Marines are basically SF aren’t they? The term Marine in the US basically just means a shock trooper, it’s not the same thing. US Marines operate under “go in as a big group, frick shit up”, most of them don’t do any spec ops shit.
yeah, you're somehow even more pozzed than us
I thought the UK had a conservative government.
bro what the frick rock have you been living under that you would think that
I dunno, just keep hearing London liberals screaming the sky is falling for a decade now, but meanwhile the country still seems like Tony Blair is running it.
welcome to european "conservatism" in the 21st century
I don't understand it at all. You have multiple parties and not a single major one stands for freedom.
"freedom" is an american concept you wont find in europe. the closest would be france but theyre all gay.
At least France keeps their leaders on their toes with constant rioting.
Huge respect to the french people. They start to riot the moment the government tries to frick them over. Here in Germany we just take it up the ass.
Import millions of refugees. No problem. Set the retirement age to 67. No problem as well.
t.swede (nord germanic)
agree with you
>They start to riot the moment the government tries to frick them over
Frogs only ever riot for more government boot down their throat, start paying attention.
What are the current rioters asking for?
What were the previous wave of rioters asking for?
What were the Yellow Vests asking for?
>What are the current rioters asking for?
diversity?
What did any of them accomplish? Exactly. Macron is still their ruler and nothing changed.
Sounds like time to roll out the guillotines
this exactly.
americans value freedom.
in europe, most of us value conformism.
this is because almost everyone in europe that didn't value conformism and consensus culture left to go to america.
its changing in america. before the country was settled the immigrants who came were focused on creating a new life through self sufficiency and valued "rugged individulism". now that the country is fully settled, and america "won" ww2, the immigrants that come want to take advantage of americas political/economic status and value gibs over liberty. the changing demographics reflect the change in attitude.
It really is. Some hispanics can be integrated and eventually care about freedom and liberty but Asians are incredibly stupid and blind to the idea of being free
Keep telling yourself that
Did any of you watch the same show?
>leadership is unreliable
>characters don't know why they're doing what they're doing most of the time
>shown multiple times to frick up and get innocent sand people killed
>not even a fair fight most of the time against the standard Iraqi army against the powerhouse of the early 2000s U.S. military
It's the complete opposite of the post Saving Private Ryan "muh noble heroes" trend. Most of the characters were just guys who didn't join out of any higher cause
They didn't watch the show, they watched the YouTube clips of the Marines goofing off and assume it's portraying them as lighthearted heroes in a propaganda show
this, the marines in GK were actually believable and likeable. The real life counterparts got in real disciplinary trouble for what the original book and show revealed about the corps
It may be exaggerated but every military in the world has to train soldiers to be fanatics in a way. Otherwise you couldnt have an effective military.
this is one of the reasons i didnt want to join the military
they dont want you to think, they want you to do no matter what they tell you
i cant do that, if its some borderline moronic shit i cant help but question the sanity of the people making the decisions
Yeah everyone who thinks about joining needs to understand this. You join, your life is forfeit ultimately
>die for zog
lol no go be cringe by yourself israelites
i think the teenage dirtbag scene is my favorite of any show ever
It made me sad knowing that the letter I sent to a soldier when I was a kid was probably made fun of by some soldiers
>"Thanks for dying for Israel, goy soldier." - Anon from Goystein Elementary
based tbh
Every American engagement post-WWII has been a complete disaster. How can anyone still enlist? Even WWII was probably a mistake, it's just the US army didn't "lose"
elaborate
I don't know why its hard for people to grasp that most people don't sign up for a noble cause and either don't fit in the civilian world or just want the benefits the military offers
Real marines are all caricatures. You’re dumb as frick and 20 something, you don’t know shit and you’re shooting people, it’s a very bizarre experience.
yeah, it was fricking wild
Jarheads go into boot camp empty-headed and leave with a head full of propaganda bullshit. They literally have nothing else up there.
