Generation Kill

[ground chuck]

for those of you that loved the homicide: life on the streets you eventually got the wire. the dramatic series about the drug/street life in baltimore that got millions of people hooked on it like crack cocaine.

well, producer david simon will be airing another mini-series july 13th, called GENERATION KILL. if we've come to expect anything from david simon, its that he films in a "in your face" approach as seen with homicide and the wire. being a resident of baltimore, the wire hit home showing the nagging drug problem this city has and how helpless the police are to combat it.

GENERATION KILL is based on true events about the Marines in the First Recon Battlalion and their first 40 days during the invasion of IRAQ. While i support our troops don't mistake that for supporting the war they are two completely different things, we will see how utter useless commanding officers can be, as proven in the true story of BLACK HAWK DOWN.

So, the next time you're complaining about something meaningless, just remember that young men and women are serving and dying for our country while you sit at home complaining. Salute the people you see in uniform, they just might salute back to you.
