By Season 8, the quality of the scripts had noticeably declined. This episode was an exception, and ranks among the best in the history of the series. It took a very serious subject and treated it with the respect that it deserved. The subject is one of which I imagine that most viewers were not even aware of. It was a disgrace that Americans should be ashamed that it was ever allowed to occur. Americans too frequently refuse to take responsibility for their actions, and this is a prime example. At the same time, other U. N. nations who participated in the "Police Action" acknowledged that they had a responsibility when a similar situation arose with their personnel.
