Generation Kill Part Two a must see

Last week, I admitted that I was tired when I watched the first part of Generation Kill. I didn't really like it but said I would try again when I was not as tired. Last night, I was really tired but this time I was drawn in. The images were horrific but show a part of war we do not want to see. It was filled with action.

If you have never read about war, seen the images, heard their stories, then you need to watch this program. It's hard to get through but it provides a glimpse of what they see in real life. I've never been in combat, but I am a bit more prepared for watching a program like this because of what I do and what they tell me. I would really like to hear from some of my veteran friends on this if you want to put your thoughts in because I don't want to "sell" a program if it is not really as good as this one seems to be.

There will never come a day when there will be no more need of men and women willing to risk their lives. It would be a wonderful day, but given the nature of man, that day will come in Biblical days of the Revelation end times. We need to understand how some can come home so changed by what they see and do, that some need help to recover from it all.
