He was a coward and a ass kisser to Berenger, but not a war criminal. Now, Berenger's got a redneck accent, Kevin Dillon's got a redneck accent, truck loads of extras had redneck accents. Hell, even this guy here had a redneck accent:



"Goddaum righ he does!"

ACE HIGH!

His name is Ace by the way. Nobody ever calls him by his name on the film also.

When i join the Army, i'm going to put a ace of Spades card in my helmet band. And write something cheesy on the right side like ACE HIGH.

What is Ace High supposed to mean?

I hope you're kidding. I AM in the army, and anyone who does stupid shit like that gets laughed at by their peers and shit on by their superiors.

You know how all the Grunts in Full Metal Jacket and Generation Kill joked even at the worst moment? They do that because they gotta take their minds of the Horror that they see in the Battlefield. And because after some time in the shit, everything becomes mudane.

You develop a "sense of humor", where you can joke about dead bodies and horrific events. Don't worry, I've read plenty of first hand Vietnam war accounts. Just saying, the lines been drawn significantly since Vietnam. And you have to understand some of those shows are humored up for creative liscense. It'd be boring as shit if everyone was a hardass throughout the whole show or movie.

Except the Fact that Generation Kill was based on a book which had the same scenes as the Mini-series? And shit, most Grunts that are in the shit acted like that since Korea. It is no different.

Marines, Generation Kill was about Marines. Don't confuse army grunts to Jarheads
