Captain America Generation Kill

Are there stupid commanders in the military?

I am watching Generation Kill and some of the commanders are really dumb.
One of them is taking souvenirs and shooting at empty cars. He even commands his lowers to attack civilians.
The other soldiers call him Captain America and they all think that he is full of crap.
There was also another commander that didnt even know what danger close was and put everyone that he commanded at risk.

There are some pretty clueless ones. I had a Capt the other day “call for fire’ during a training exercise on a building 20 feet away. Luckily it was all notional and no live rounds were falling that day.

My LT doesn’t understand the concept of stealthy recon, and continuously disregards light and noise discipline. Not to mention once he gets something in his head he completely blocks out everything else, even reports of ieds, mines, and incoming fire.

I had a major in my battalion yell at myself and other roleplayers during a battalion exercise saying that we weren’t acting like Iraqis correctly and we obviously never went outside the wire, when we had done over 2000 missions in a 9 month period. While he had never left the headquarters in the Greenzone.

Within hours of 9/11, America’s war on terrorism fell to those like the twenty-three Marines of the First Recon Battalion, the first generation dispatched into open-ended combat since Vietnam. They were a new breed of American warrior unrecognizable to their forebears – soldiers raised on hip-hop, Internet porn, Marilyn Manson, video games, and The Real World, a band of born-again Christians, dopers, Buddhists, and New Agers who gleaned their precepts from kung fu movies and Oprah Winfrey. Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary, and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional, and moral horrors ahead, the “First Suicide Battalion” would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer.Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness…
