Your unit was not (I believe) the one discussed in Evan Wright's Generation Kill, later made into an HBO series of the same name. Have you read Wright's book? How closely did the missions and general happenings within 1st Recon mirror your experience in Iraq?

I will. If you're up to it, pick up a copy of the book. The miniseries did an absolutely top tier job of relating the events of the book but as you can expect, left a lot out. I can't remember if it was your battalions Alpha Company or 1st Recon Battalion's but there were numerous mentions and anecdotes about at least one Alpha Company in the book. You may even read about yourself.

How do you think your time in the military compares to that of servicemen today? Thank you for serving.
