I am now watching Tour of Duty for the third time and still find it enjoyable. I would like to know what some of the actors are doing now. I absolutely loved Terrence Knox and his twinkling eyes. I also liked Carl Weathers and although we don't see him often on TV I have always enjoyed him whenever I do. He did a series called, I think, Street Justice and it was also good. The situation between the Lieutenant and his father was, I thought, played out extremely well. The Danny Purcell heroin addiction was also very realistic. This time around, I am watching it at 12 midnight on the History Channel.The Vietnam Vets got a bad go of it when they came back. I think it's only in the last maybe ten years that people appreciate that as in Iraq, they might not approve of the war but support the troops. I also thought the Vietnam War was the most terrible war of all and this was depicted so well in the tunnel series, the bamboo spikes in holes covered over with leaves, the trap that took soldiers up in a tree with spikes through them. I would sure love to see a sequel but please, can we have some personal info on the stars--Are they married, have children, involved in charity work etc. When I was working shifts we watched Tour of Duty at 0300 hrs whenever we were able. Why is it the good ones always seem to last a short while, and this one was a terrific series. Marilyn Rowe, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
