"We love you, Fruity Rudy!"
Jacob, he's recapping Generation Kill, which is entertainment in and of itself. Not to mention extremely enlightening, if you didn't follow every detail and line of jargon in the episode, which, unless you've been in the military, I'm assuming is almost everyone.
'The unbelievably irritating Cpl. Ray Person drives the Humvee for Iceman's team. It's Ray and Brad in the front, insane Trombley (the youngest and deadliest shooter in Bravo Company, and the one most likely to compare shooting somebody in the stomach to Grand Theft Auto) in back, and Gabriel Garza up top, manning the gun turret. They don't talk about it, because if you thought about it for five seconds you would freak out like Captain America, but what this means is that the entire platoon balances on Ray, because he's the driver of the lead vehicle. Tactically and practically speaking: If Ray dies, everybody dies. Sometimes it's hard to understand how they manage to love his unholy ass but I think that might be part of it.'
I'm curious to see if he can work mythological references into this show as well.
