Generation Kill is a 2008 HBO miniseries based on journalist Evan Wright’s nonfiction book Generation Kill, which documented his time embedded with the U.S. Marine Corps’ 1st Recon Battalion during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Created by David Simon and Ed Burns (of The Wire), the series follows the Marines in real time including long stretches of boredom, sudden violence, dark humor, confusion, and the messy reality of modern warfare. #bestworstcantina #americanpolitics
