Having just watched the finale of HBO's "Generation Kill", (and being thoroughly awed in the process), I was wondering, in terms of realism, how accurate this series is. Media (news outlets that is) - biased as it is - can't be trusted wholly, in my opinion. Call me a cynic, but I tend to pour mountains of salt onto all stories on recent events. Ironic, though, that I should fall for the guile of a mere television show.;)
For those of you who have some knowledge of what it's actually like over there, either through own experiences or that of friends and family; having seen the show, can you tell me something about the level of realism portrayed in "Generation Kill"? This isn't a thinly veiled attempt at starting a lackluster political debate, but rather a query into this particular depiction of marines stationed in Iraq.
I've done the Wikipedia-thing, but it was sorely lacking in information.
Much obliged!
