Show Summary:
As the first television drama series about the Vietnam War, Tour of
Duty focuses on a single platoon of young U.S. soldiers through
their one-year tour of combat duty in Vietnam during the late
1960's. While their own country is rocked by a massive anti-war
movement, these young men find… More themselves thrown into combat
in Southeast Asia, where they face enemy troops they can not see and
sometimes can not kill. They also face their own fears, as they
struggle in a hostile environment just to keep themselves and their
fellow soldiers alive.
Terence Knox, Kevin Conroy, Stephen Caffrey, Joshua Maurer, Steve
Akahoshi, Tony Becker, Eric Bruskotter, Stan Foster, Ramon Franco
and Miguel A. Nunez, Jr. star as the infantrymen who represent
diverse racial, cultural and philosophical backgrounds but must
ultimately depend on one another to get through the war alive.
Tour of Duty takes place in 1967, when the war in Vietnam has
escalated to terrifying heights. Four hundred seventy-five thousand
U.S. troops are stationed in South Vietnam. Like most fighting units
"in country," Company B is a diverse mixture of young men, mostly
teenagers, from across the United States. Its base is a remote
firecamp, composed of sandbagged bunkers and surrounded by mine
fields and the scorched remains of once-lush forests. The enemy they
encounter is the well-trained and well-supplied regulars of the
North Vietnamese Army.
Company B's driving force is Sgt. Zeke Anderson (Knox), an amiable
and popular sergeant, already on his third tour of duty in Vietnam
and determined to keep himself and his men alive. He shares a mutual
respect with Capt. Rusty Wallace (Conroy), the company commander and
a patient leader, tolerant of the young soldiers for whom he is
responsible. Lt. Myron Goldman (Caffrey) is a newly arrived officer,
anxious to assert leadership despite his inexperience. Others are
Pri. Roger Horn (Maurer), "Doc" Randy Matsuda (Akahoshi), Cpl. Danny
Percell (Becker), Pri. Alberto Ruiz (Franco) and Pri. Marcus Taylor
(Nunez).
Tour of Duty goes beyond the massive political turmoil caused by the
Vietnam War and attempts to portray the human side of the conflict.
Nearly three million American servicemen were sent overseas, and
more than 57,000 of them never came back. It is only recently that
Americans look anew at the war and remember the men of all races and
backgrounds who served there at such tremendous personal sacrifice

Customer review:
I am so glad that TOD has been released with the Original Music
intact from when it aired on CBS back in the 80s. FYI: the original
music is missing from Season 1 episode 4 and Season 3 episode 5. The
original music in those 2 episodes has been replaced with the
generic music that was found on the Sony Releases from USA. There is
also a 3 part documentary featuring interviews with several of the
original cast and crew that you should enjoy very much.
