The final episode brings home the frustration and futility that is the actual results of stumbling around a combat zone. I never questioned the bravery of the Marines in Viet Nam, but we were sure confused as to their tactics and "kill'm all let God sort it out" mentality.
This was portrayed very well in the closing episode and if ever there is a sequel the writers should build on the mindlessness of "smoking a 'ville' or 'cappin' a [profane] or hadji", because these are the things that constitute the nightmares we have as fifty year old men who called "the world" in on a hamlet or enemy embedded with civilians.
Seeing there are several Marines and Marine squads under courts martial for combat atrocities currently adds to the accuracy of "Generation Kill" . About time I'd say.
