It's impressive for a Brit&Aussie to pull of an American accent flawlessly, but it's amazing when it's a Swede, accents are hard to master and incredibly harder when it's not your native language.

But there's plenty of recognition of the difference, least at in my own country, Portuguese fear and respect our marines.

@yesiamawizardjonny Some people just dont know. But you would think someone who is trying to get inside the mind of a Marine would know he isnt a soldier, and he isnt in an army of anything.
@yesiamawizardjonny You have to take into account that it isn't everyone who makes the same distinction between a soldier and a marine as in the states. Seeing as most European countries don't hold marines in any sort of special prestige like in the USA where the USMC exists as an "army" of their own with such fancy legacy as to being older than the country itself. Most people around here would define a marine as a soldier tied to the navy rather than the army.
@yesiamawizardjonny right because it is so unthinkable that a foreigner who is not a native english speaker could ever use the word soldier for Marine. Some languages do not even have a word for Marine.
@tubub There is no colbert in any of us. How could you even say you compare to how badass Colbert and Fick are? Go to BRC, SERE, Jump school, dive school, mountain warfare`, and ranger school. Then climb Mt. Shasta with a broken angle and 150 pounds on your back. When you do that, come back and then MAYBE... you'll have a LITTLE Colbert in you.
If one man could do it, another can. That doesn't other will, because most people are cowards or fall to other tribulations(even Colbert), but Colbert is the archetypal stoic humanist warrior. Any real man raised in the West has a Colbert within him
@tehBLAX Colbert entered a special exchange program run by the military that is like becoming an exchange student during school. He went to the Royal Marines for a while, and a Royal Marine came to the USMC for the same amount of time.
doesn't the real Colbert play the role of an Officer in the series? and btw doesn't the autor of generation Kill also play a marine in the first episode?
@Marco81blues no Colbert is a Sergeant in the series now he is a Gunnery Sergeant which is 2 ranks above
Evan Wright "the Reporter" was never a marine he was always a reporter throughout the series he wrote for Rolling Stones. At first people didnt really like him but since he actually went into combat with a recon unit and carried a gun(unlike the chaplain) he got their respect
@clovercat14: I think you'll be fine. I just watched the whole series of GK for the first time and there was only one thing I couldn't really understand and had to look up.... why marines seem to hate the "Charms" candy so much. Apparently they are considered unlucky or even cursed by the marines. Anyway, I'm glad I finally got around to watching GK.
To anyone that has watched an episode or more of Generation Kill, do you think a 15 year old girl that knows little to nothing about army ranks could keep up with the show? Like if they are making constant army references I don't think I'll understand.
@cloverkcat14 marine reference actually and you will sort of get a general idea of how the rank structure is build
usually a team consist of about 4 or 5 marines and is lead by an NCO(like sgt colbert) above them is a LT who is in charge of various teams(like LT fick) above him is a Captain who is in charge of various LTs(like captain america or encino man) above them is the Sergeant Major(he is an snco though) of the the entire 1st recon and the Commanding officer which is godfather.
Sgt. Colbert is now Gunny Colbert and I kind of got in an altercation with him during a training about sharing radio space between his recon guys and my sniper plt. I did get a hand shake from him later on when I proved that two different radio devices could work with each other. Cool dude.
@starshine977 probably not, ya know they have old 1950 movies but dont care to keep damn good show like this cuz everyone wants to watch fucking jersey shore or some fucking piece of shit hanna mon sluttty tana.
it's amazing how little of an accent Alexander has being Swedish and playing an American. Even talking normally it's hard to tell he's not an American
@SuperMike82 Lots of Swedes and Danes are like that. I met a bunch of them back in school in Florida and they all spoke nearly perfect American English after just three or four months in the country. In my four plus years over there, I never got even close to speaking like an American. Never lost my Argentinean speak accent no matter how hard I tried. Of course, I wasn't taught English from the cradle like the Swedes. Once you are over 8 years old you'll never loose your native accent.
@slick4401 Of course if you have one. I'm polish and we almost don't have any, that's why it's pretty easy for us to speak fluently other languages :)
@SuperMike82 It's extremely easy to detect his corny and fake American voice. He sounds short-spoken and unrealistic when he talks. They should have just got an American Actor.

yes! lets glamorize war! lets get millions of ignorant fucks to become even more ignorant! everyone loves killing innocent civilians! This show is a method of brain washing kids to make war seem justified. It gets millions of views and the videos that show US soldiers mocking little iraqi kids and ones showing them forcing civilians to run for a bottle of water get a couple of thousand. It's disguisting
This show never gives justification for war. And you contradict yourself, first you say it glamorizes the war, then you say it show the ugliness of it.
@chocosparx that's what the recommended age is for, and it seems that you should've waited a couple of years before you watched it so that you could actually understand the content.
Evan Wright said that real brads sister said that secret of Brad is that he is a girl.He didn't mind it at all when Wright said it and it was clear that it is joke.But real Brad is so manly,even more than Skarsgard.
@AtticWarrior1994 i asked myself that very question at the begining of the show... but a zoomed optic wich functions both day and night i would have it too
Generaion Kill is really good! Love the fact that it´s based upon a real story....you can see and feel that. As I´m swedish - glad to see my favorite actor Alexander Skarsgård doing a great roll as Iceman. Love the interacting with the other guys, especially with Ray. The casting was exceptionally good. It´s a pity it was just one book....would have loved more of this. Pretty fucking ninja!
wow brad colbert is my new idol(not to sound weird.) he climbed a thousand meteres on a mountain with a broken ankle and a 100 ibs of gear. thats pretty unhuman. the man is a beast....
my fav is ray and brad together. theyre like ketchup and mustard. one (b)itchy and sour, and one stoic, understated and with seeds in it that holds everything together. or the mum and dad of the show. :)
and I know this has been said a million times BUT his accent for english was originally good, however he did spend time with a coach getting Brad Colberts accent down... he then tweaked that accent and added a bit of swedish to it for the Eric voice (which is awesome BTW).
Note that A Skarsgard has 18 moths of military training in the Swedish amphibious core (equivalent to the Marine core). he actually has the rank of Sergent. Anyways, he can act for sure.
@Eddie820 what about British SAS, Navy Seals, or Russian Spetsnaz? i would say at least 1 if those is either just as good or better than Marines. and that is in NO WAY an insult to Marines.
@calebinoutlook THe thing is those are all special forces, whereas my beloved Marine Corps is a normal volunteer military branch. The Marines have their own Special Forces, as well.
@NohbdyThere Spesnaz are just elite soldiers like Marines are. as are the SAS. yea Navy SEALS are special forces. but the other 2 are just elite soldiers i think. but say they are, the Army Rangers are extremely good too. but Marines are probably better.
the only thing is this. for the last however long, Marines, Army, etc have only been fighting either not trained at all, or not so well trained iraqi militas. if they went up against trained soldiers, would they be as good as they are now?
@calebinoutlook Spetznaz translates into special forces, SAS is Special Air Service, Rangers are an elite part of the US Army, Marines are anyone in the Marine Corps, including the POGs. MARSOC is the Marine Special Operation Command.
@NohbdyThere this whole thing started by someone saying "there is no equivalent to the marine corp. and i proved there is. now u guys are just trying to think of any way possible to still make it seem like the Marines are the number 1 best fighting force on earth. while they are extremely good, there are better (even though as an American i hate to admit it)
@calebinoutlook Actually, I'm saying it's not accurate to say that those units are better than the Marine Corps, because they are special forces. If you want to compare them, then compare Spetznaz or SAS to MARSOC, not the general Marine Corps. I'm well aware of the fact that there are better groups of warriors out there, but they are on different levels.
@NohbdyThere fine. if u want to compare people on different levels of the military fine. but like i said, the first thing that started this conversation was someone said, there is no equivalent to the marine corp. and i was simply saying that was wrong. he didn't say "there is no equivalent to the marine corp except special ops." he claimed ther was absolutely none what so ever. and so he was wrong.i believe it is accurate to say that special ops are better than Marines. whatever. who cares
.... you know, I suspect it is not that all swedes are gay, but that swedes are perhaps a little more secure in their manhood... just me sayin'... :) that's the impression I get from this Swede...
Skarsgård was brilliant in Generation Kill, but I'm not gonna go watch that gay-ass serie True Blood!

2nd place China only spent $119B, just 7.3% of total, only 2.1% of GDP

my fav is ray and brad together. theyre like ketchup and mustard. one (b)itchy and sour, and one stoic, understated and with seeds in it that holds everything together. or the mum and dad of the show. :)

@mindovermatte Evan actually wrote the same thing! In the HMMWV Colbert was the dad, Ray was the mum, and Garza and Trombley were the kids.

"ill be fine", ahh eric moment crossover!
and I know this has been said a million times BUT his accent for english was originally good, however he did spend time with a coach getting Brad Colberts accent down... he then tweaked that accent and added a bit of swedish to it for the Eric voice (which is awesome BTW).

Note that A Skarsgard has 18 moths of military training in the Swedish amphibious core (equivalent to the Marine core). he actually has the rank of Sergent. Anyways, he can act for sure.

@joba777 That's an interesting fact, theres just one error, there's no equivalent to the Marine core :-)

@Eddie820 what about British SAS, Navy Seals, or Russian Spetsnaz? i would say at least 1 if those is either just as good or better than Marines. and that is in NO WAY an insult to Marines.
calebinoutlook 1 year ago
@calebinoutlook THe thing is those are all special forces, whereas my beloved Marine Corps is a normal volunteer military branch. The Marines have their own Special Forces, as well.
NohbdyThere 1 year ago
@NohbdyThere Spesnaz are just elite soldiers like Marines are. as are the SAS. yea Navy SEALS are special forces. but the other 2 are just elite soldiers i think. but say they are, the Army Rangers are extremely good too. but Marines are probably better.
the only thing is this. for the last however long, Marines, Army, etc have only been fighting either not trained at all, or not so well trained iraqi militas. if they went up against trained soldiers, would they be as good as they are now?
calebinoutlook 1 year ago
@calebinoutlook Spetznaz translates into special forces, SAS is Special Air Service, Rangers are an elite part of the US Army, Marines are anyone in the Marine Corps, including the POGs. MARSOC is the Marine Special Operation Command.
NohbdyThere 1 year ago
@NohbdyThere this whole thing started by someone saying "there is no equivalent to the marine corp. and i proved there is. now u guys are just trying to think of any way possible to still make it seem like the Marines are the number 1 best fighting force on earth. while they are extremely good, there are better (even though as an American i hate to admit it)
calebinoutlook 1 year ago
@calebinoutlook Actually, I'm saying it's not accurate to say that those units are better than the Marine Corps, because they are special forces. If you want to compare them, then compare Spetznaz or SAS to MARSOC, not the general Marine Corps. I'm well aware of the fact that there are better groups of warriors out there, but they are on different levels.
NohbdyThere 1 year ago
@NohbdyThere fine. if u want to compare people on different levels of the military fine. but like i said, the first thing that started this conversation was someone said, there is no equivalent to the marine corp. and i was simply saying that was wrong. he didn't say "there is no equivalent to the marine corp except special ops." he claimed ther was absolutely none what so ever. and so he was wrong.i believe it is accurate to say that special ops are better than Marines. whatever. who cares

@joba777 It's Corps. Not Core.

.... you know, I suspect it is not that all swedes are gay, but that swedes are perhaps a little more secure in their manhood... just me sayin'... :) that's the impression I get from this Swede...

This man is FAR from gay. He's just very European and I think a lot of Americans perceive that as gay.
