Storyline, Tour Of Duty (TV Series, 1987-1990):


Set in Vietnam in 1967, the series concentrated on the perilous activities of Bravo Company. While this is essentially an "ensemble" piece, special attention is given hardened veteran sergeant Zeke Anderson (Terence_Knox) and shavetail lieutenant Goldman (Stephen_Caffrey). Dramatic complications include a soldier who refuses to fire a rifle, and a tenuous friendship between an American POW and an NVA doctor. Tour of Duty premiered September 24, 1987. by Hal Erickson, Rovi

This series offers an unflinching look at the "tours of duty" of several members of a platoon during the Vietnam War. Death is inevitable in war, and major characters do die. The protagonists face the Viet Cong, social disapproval, and sometimes themselves over the course of the series.by Jason A. Cormier 

Not too "Hollywood", great production values except for overuse of stock chopper footage in 2nd series; only spotted one major whopper in the whole series (missed the helmet one though); McCay chucks a grenade of of the Huey then the long shot shows a totally different make of helicopter firing a rocket.

Not being a Yank, this show goes a long way to helping me understand what went on and why it left such scars on the American people. It's a pity they haven't learnt a lesson from it though (Iraq). They don't make them like this any more.by captaincretin, deepest, darkest, malvern, UK

Where to begin? This is one of the greatest tv series ever made. It has everything. Brotherhood, strife, politics, morality and ethics, courage, ambiguity, everything. You have to see this movie as part of the time it was made. In 1987, there was no real visual example of what the war in Vietnam was really all about. Vietnam during the seventies and sixties was something people protested against. It was the longest war the United States had ever fought. It split a nation, between people who wanted to make a stand against communism and for conservatism, and people who couldn't see how a war more than a thousand miles away could possibly affect the USA. The seventies was also an era during which many former colonies (like Vietnam) were trying to become independent, like Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, Namibia/Southwest Africa. During the eighties, there was a largely Republican leaning movement of movies tangentially about Vietnam (First Blood, about a vietnam veteran, but set in Colorado, not Vietnam), Chuck Norris' movies, even Magnum PI with Tom Selleck (1980 onwards) and later Miami Vice. The Vietnam theme was "in", but no real movies/series set in Vietnam or dealing with the real day-to-day of ordinary soldiers had been made. And then there was Tour Of Duty. Tour of Duty set out to describe the daily grind of a platoon of the 199th Light Infantry. This series is great. Yes, it may reflect earlier series like the WWII series "Combat", but it is still unique. Unlike most series in the eighties, it isn't afraid of featuring Black and Hispanic actors in major, leading roles - Stan Foster, Miguel Nunez and Ramon Franco, mainly. In no small measure reflecting that the Vietnam War was the first war during which the US military was fully integrated/desegregated. Meanwhile, the storylines are great. Most deal with the daily strain of patrols, the interaction with the Vietnamese population, and there is even a love interest thrown in, in the form of female reporter Alex Devlin (Kim Delaney, based on the real-life reporter and war casualty Dicky Chapelle). Lots of themes are explored, from the stresses of combat, to the attitude to the war, to the situation of the people of Vietnam, the psychological damage (as through psychiatrist Betsy Brantley), etc. The second part of the series has the squad enlisted as Special Forces, under Colonel Brewster (Carl Weathers), highlighting the strains and tensions between Special Forces and regular army on the one side and the CIA (Patrick Kilpatrick as Duke Fontaine) on the other. This is a great series, see it if you can.by Alex-372, The Hague, Netherlands
