Generation Kill is a masterpiece. It is set in 2003 and has a very different tone but it is a bad ass show. You are going to laugh your ass off at a lot of it.

I'd cap off MotA with 1995's Tuskegee Airmen. Great movie.

During WWII, the US military segregated African-Americans and Japanese-Americans from the rest of the units. While, every other ethnic minority (as portrayed via Rosie who is Jewish) served in integrated “white” units. It created lots of racial tension between the integrated and segregated units, and even within the integrated units themselves. The whites would pick fights with the blacks, everyone distrusted the Japanese, and the military originally did not want Jews in combat. It was a very dark chapter in American history, especially given who the USA was at war with. Although during the Battle of the Bulge, the segregated black units were integrated into the white units. It turned out to be incredibly successful, and was partially why Truman desegregated the military in 1948.

So, for more about the black pilots, you can watch The Tuskegee Airmen (1995) and Red Tails (2012).

In BoB, the artillery batteries at.Brecourt were firing on the allied troops 12:45 landing on the beaches. That assault taking out the guns surely saved the lives of many men living the horror of having to advance from the sea up to and beyond the fortified positions held by the Nazis.

I think you should get to know the Purple Heart Battalion (442nd Infantry Regiment).

34:09 IMO that is exactly where this show could have been a lot better. 1-6 episodes intense, suspenseful and thrilling. Once it started to heat up - series ends in quick wrap up in 7-9 episodes 😁

Oh nooooo, we are drawing near to the end of my niche areas of focus! Unless you do From the Earth to the Moon which was the first HBO-Hanks collaboration (1998) and the reason why Hanks suggested HBO to Spielberg for BoB. It also shares some writers with BoB and a commitment to historical facts.

Trust everyone HATES how they skipped over D-day. They really rushed this episode, introducing the Red Tails and the time jumps in the camp. Episode 9 is really good though, so don't worry.

It is not even so much that the episode was rushed, but rather that it actually skipped over a major event in September 1944 that would have tied everything together. Not to mention, explain the next time jump and connect this episode to the finale better. Plus I thought it was offensive, to use the Tuskegee Airmen a last-ditch effect to give Cleven character development.

yea, so at the time, the US military was segregated, there was a lot of mistrust racially...Generation Kill is a great mini series, but if you watch it be prepared to edit, lol, its pretty gritty beyond the violence

'Was there some racial tension there?' If you have to ask then the producers didn't do a very good job. The American armed forces were segregated during world war two. The African American servicemen ALWAYS had to deal with racial tensions. Read about the Bamber Bridge race riots.

Which is why the Tuskegee Men deserve such high praise. That said, shoe horning them into this story was cringe worthy and unnecessary.

I honestly get the feeling that when this program started out as an H.B.O. series just like the other two, which had incredible budgets, something was lost when it became an Apple T.V. series. Whether they just wanted to finish and get it over with. With only 9 episodes when the others had 10 and considering that this one deals with way more material and people, persons and units, it seems really abridged, abbreviated and compressed. Even the CG seems rushed. It’s sad because only people with money, Spielberg and Hanks, interested in stories like these can get them made. Studios don’t like these stories, they don’t make money.

It's a shame. This show had so much potential. No show like this can be 100% accurate but at least Band of Brothers tried. This episode was just hot garbage full of Hollywood SMU.
