Above all, it showed the way the people back home were so cruel to the veterans and spit on them and called them baby killers. So often watching this show would make me angry because it was so frightning and so true. It dealt realistically with the real issues that affected soldiers in the Vietnam war, the drug addiction, the racism, the desertions, the meddling by the politicians, the incompetence of many of the top brass.
I used to love to watch Tour Of Duty, however, because it was realistic and for a change it told the story like it really was. I usually get a really hearty laugh when I watch tv shows and films with a military theme because they are so unrealistic and it just isn't like that in real life. I am a Sergeant in the Army with 17 years of experience in the National Guard and on active duty, I am also a Desert Storm veteran (and cotton picking proud of it!).
