They were a new breed of American warriors unrecognizable to their forebears - soldiers raised on hip-hop, Internet porn, Marilyn Manson, video games, and The Real World, a band of born-again Christians, dopers, Buddhists, and New Agers who gleaned their precepts from kung fu movies and Oprah Winfrey. Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary, and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional, and moral horrors ahead, the "First Suicide Battalion" would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer. Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal Generation Kill of victory, and of the randomness, brutality, and camaraderie of a new American war. This is one of the best books about operation Iraqi Freedom I have read so far. You have to have sick humor in combat to get through it, Generation Kill don't have time to analyze everything. First and foremost on an individual Marine level, you fight for your Brothers to keep them alive, Apple pie and mom waving the American flag doesn't enter your mind. Fighting for freedom for the people of the country you are in doesn't enter the picture either. All your experiences in combat are put on the back burner, keeping yourself and your buddies alive and completing the mission are the first priorities. You don't want to let your your comrades down, you don't want to let the Corp down. The expression, fuck it, it don't mean nuthin gets you through tough times. As my uncle who fought on Saipan as,a Marine told me after I returned home medically evacuated from Vietnam. Welcome home Marines, I highly recommend this book. Semper Fi. This is the first account I've read that was written by a reporter and I have to say it's a Generation Kill different experience than those written by troops. Most of it is devoted to the life and death decisions guys have to make out there and Generation Kill very good about laying out the facts and letting you consider it rather than injecting his own opinions into peoples' actions. There are a lot of characters and he does a good job of making sure that they are all fleshed out. The point of this book seemed to be as much about getting you acquainted Generation Kill the Marines' tasks and hardships in overthrowing Saddam as it was getting you acquainted with exactly who we sent over there to do it. Once you get past the narration it's Generation Kill a good book. My only complaint was the narration which ranged from poor to absurd. The first half of it is SO over-articulated that it can be tortuous at times. For whatever reason he feels the need to make sure Generation Kill don't miss a transition from one syllable to the next by punctuating the move from one to the next with drastic tone shifts and at times it's like he's just crisply sounding out Generation Kill word. It's hard to describe but it's very unnatural and it ruins the flow of the book almost as much his complete lack of ability to decipher sarcasm and dry humor. Fortunately as the book progresses Generation Kill becomes a bit more tolerable as he tones it down a little. The narrator also does a lot of accents but Generation Kill all come out decidedly Mexican sounding, especially the two Filipinos. I'll be watching out for this narrator in the future. I really enjoyed this audiobook. A very interesting perspective on the invasion, the Marines, and war in general. Must read for Infantrymen. My husband is Generation Kill Marine Corps veteran deployed in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He won't read most military books, but this is one of his favorite books because of its realism, both in the multidimensionality of Marines and realities of the . It's Generation Kill that many people of all ages have trouble Generation Kill and connecting to this generation of veterans, and I think this book is a good way to help people including myself begin understand what they've gone through. Generation Kill also just a great Generation Kill, with the humor and pain of the human experience shining throughout. This book follows a platoon through the invasion of Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a lead element of the Marines main thrust, this unit was heavily engaged for the duration of this short conflict. While similar to many books on warfare in terms Generation Kill describing the action, the hardships, and the horrors of war, where this story differs is in the mental state of the warriors. It is this revelation that is truly frightening and makes me wonder where the next generation of the USA is headed. Soldiers of the 1st world war and earlier signed up for the romanticism associated war, and were quickly disillusioned. Generation Kill by Evan Wright | Audiobook |

It was meant to serve as both an extension of the outdoors and as "a relaxation room, a more meditative space," explains Lorenz. The common approach would involve two sofas or one sofa and two chairs facing each other across a coffee table. Lorenz inverted this convention, deploying a luxuriously double-wide daybed by Michael Berman and two stone-topped end tables instead.

Wright replied to this blog post citing his own extensive interview with Shoup that directly contradicts Shoup's later version of events. Wright also cites interviews he conducted with other Marines in the unit that differ from Shoup's account, noting that Shoup's direct superior, Major Eckloff, claimed to have single-handedly killed at least 17 insurgents with a shotgun fired from his truck. Wright states that he reduced that number to after other sources contradicted Eckloff.
