[Poll #1235142]

If I write the Generation Kill, I am also going to need someone who knows more about military jargon that I do. Everything I know can be summed up by Band of Brothers, ROE and MRE

ETA: That should be Fick and not Fisk, but the 's' and the 'c' are clearly too close together.

has a glossary of terms used in generation kill. it makes for fascinating reading and i think it could be very helpful to you in writing gkill if you decide to. btw. just sayin'. ahem.

Holy cow. The glossary has explained more in 15 minutes than I've figured out in four episodes.
