File under: more moments from Generation Kill that I’m still not over

The moment in “A Burning Dog” with the smoke grenades when Brad says “I’m asking, sir.”

I simply can’t believe that, if it had been any other officer, Brad would have done anything other than present his arguments, like he does with Nate, and then wait, silently, as if to say “You can, of course, challenge me on this, but you shouldn’t because I’m better than you, and this is the right thing to do.”

But it isn’t any other officer, and Brad wants Nate to feel okay about it, to be okay, to trust Brad, to agree with Brad that this risk is worth it to save civilians, so instead Brad says “ I’m asking” and “

You do have power over this.”

“Sir, your leadership is the only thing I have absolute confidence in.”

“I’m asking, sir.”

“I trust your judgement, sir”

And, of course, Nate does trust Brad, and gives the okay, and if that look when Nate’s walking away means anything other than “I’m trusting you with my Marines, don’t let me down,” I’ll eat the ROUS that Stafford roasts at the end of the episode.

This Moment

Rudy – N, Q & T

N (Negligence): Rudy isn’t the sort to be consciously negligent, but I feel like he could go on a vision quest or something and forget everyone else exists. He wouldn’t mean to be cruel, and he’d probably be very apologetic, but it might cause issues in his relationships.  

Q (Quest): Rudy’s quest is to be the best he can be, physically. He always seeks to improve himself, to do better today than he did yesterday. Also, he’s on a constant quest to find the smallest booty shorts known to man.

T (Test): I feel like Iraq tested him, like it tested everyone. Weeks out in the desert, shitty food, then not enough shitty food, incompetent command, people shooting at them, and then Pappy getting injured and having to leave. It’s all a lot of pressure and Rudy being made team leader meant he had a fair amount of shit roll down on him. All in all, it’s kind of understandable that he snapped and hurt Ray, though that doesn’t excuse it, of course.
