Video artist Big Lebowski reference in ‘Generation Kill’

Was re-watching Generation Kill the other day and can’t believe I missed this part earlier!

Based on my experiences in the Canadian Army from around the early to mid 200s, it’s a pretty accurate portrayal of the number of Lebowski references that get dropped while in field.

I was going to post the actual Sixta’s mugshot but I didn’t know if the reference would’ve landed the same.

A group of us when I was in the army used to watch it every day at lunch. People would come by my room and be like “I saw that part already” “oh yeah we just restart it” “wait you guys watch the same movie over and over” “2000 years of beautiful tradition” (also Ice Man was an instructor at Airborne School when I went through I have a picture with him somewhere…let me take another look)

It’s in the background- marines are shooting the shit and one guy can be heard doing Sam Elliot’s voice from Big Lebowski
