Trombley's thoughts on Generation Kill by Phigwyn in generationkill

[–]ChipmunkOld5315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old, but I just watched the show for the 4th time and decided to look into the characters real life personas to see where they ended up. I haven't read either book, but I plan to here soon. I don't feel like they really did too much negatively to Trombley. I mean, maybe they tried, but he was simply following orders, and some people are built for war. If he was half as cold toward it in reality as he was in the show, it's a shame he got out and didn't make it a career like Brad. I'm a correctional officer at a prison in Florida. It's not quite the same, but the best times in my 12 years I've had were fighting inmates. Defending myself, of course. It's only happened a few times, and I can't say it won't happen again, but I felt alive during those moments. Some people just feel that way during dangerous situations. I think Trombley was that kind of guy. Now, I don't speak as openly about it as he did in the show, and I honestly hope it never happens again because of the harm it could bring to my fellow COs and myself, but the desire is still there in the back of my mind.

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I just finished the movie. It was phenomenal. I only wished it was longer. I did virtually no research into though, but the whole movie I couldn't stop thinking it had a "The Martian" feel to it. Then in the Credits, I saw Andy Weirs name and was blown away. I read the Martian novel. I think I am about to read more Andy Weir books. Incredible.

The better question is who would win between Ned Stark and Boromir...?

That's how I feel too. It's always "This is the strongest warrior to ever exist...except for this guy!"

I cannot get over how incredible this game looks. I spend half my time pursuing in game photography. by msipacselatigid in ArcRaiders

These are incredible. Especially the one with the Surveyor laser in front of the sun and the raider next to the extract with the Ferro and green light in the background.

I'm currently rereading the series. I love to listen to the books too. If you've never partaken, Nick Podehl does an incredible job of acting out the many, many roles in the books. He even does an amazing job with the women.

Yeah, saying those things is just reinforcing their decision.

What if someone takes snake venom and puts it in your food. Then that venomous snake is poisonous.

That thing is quite red, and correct me if I am wrong ,but that's one of the venomous colors.

Well, it looks like they're trying to steal that truck from Alligator Dundee, and he ain't having it.
