Generation Kill – We are Oscar Mike

The brilliant miniseries Generation Kill from the makers of the Wire and based on the book by Evan Wright has come to an end.

Alan Sepinwall has been doing some fantastic blogging about the series pretty much episode by episode.

Stark Sands who portrayed Lt. Nate Fick in the series writes about the fratty behavior on the ‘Generation Kill’ set.

Here’s the real Nate Fick giving a presentation and taking questions as part of the Rethinking the Future Nature of Competition & Conflict Seminar Series.

James Ransome writes about his experience of making the series and how it turned his life around and is interviewed along with the real life Eric Kocher on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Staff Sergeant Eric Kocher is one of the men portrayed in Evan Wright’s Generation Kill. A U.S. Marine and member of the First Reconnaissance Battalion has received two purple Heart and a Bronze star, earned during his tour in Afghanistan and four tours of Iraq. There are five short videos on Big Think where Eric Kocher talks about the Marines, Generation Kill and Killing or Being Killed.
