We (America) left Vietnam in 1975 as North Vietnam took over the country. Although I was a kid, I recall the evening news with Walter Conkrite providing such vivid imagery as did the coverage of the protests and riots against the war. Our country was almost torn apart by the contrasting opinions about the war and the loss of so many Americans and Vietnamese. Our healing process was very slow and continues even now. The Tour of Duty TOD - show was the first TV show that took on the war. TOD was developed and aired at a point in the healing process were the show was more acceptable than one or two years earlier. TOD had a good cast and the writing was very good. The TOD sound track was fabulous and to this day when I hear "Paint It Black" I usually think about TOD. I'm surprised that no station or network has thought to rerun the series. TOD is more than worthy of your time to watch it. CWO, USMC, Retired
