I used to watch that and China Beach whenever it came on. Had a crush on Dana Delany. There's something about a woman in uniform! :smiley31::naughty::love4:

I wanna know whatever anti-fungal stuff Sgt Zeke has that keeps jungle rot out of his arm pits. Or maybe he just never wears his flack vest...

Great show...

I remember watching that when I was a kid. Dad's favorite show at the time. I remember Zeke and Anderson, but don't remember the other names but recognize the faces.

I loved that show... I'm surprised that nobody has made a tv show about troops in Iraq/Afghanistan yet...

A "good" show anyways.
My wife occasionally watches "Army Wives" and gets all pissed.
She says it's the most unrealistic TV show ever.

Ahh yes Dana Delany, I think there's something about her :) She was the reason I saw Tombstone for the first time.

He isn't even dirty. One might beat the fungi, but no one beats the dirt.

Although camera angles can be deceiving she might soon have a flat nose. LOL

I started watching that show on TNT when it was on everyday. Never really saw the last episode, and never found out what happened to all the characters? Anyone know?

I don't think there are any tv shows that were filmed in an active combat zone.

Probably because they don't have a proper rating for an active combat zone. ;)

Dana Delany was hot in Exit to Eden, but don't watch it if you haven't already seen it. Rosie O'Donnell in bondage gear is a sight you can't unsee. Dana looks great, but the tradeoff just isn't worth it.

Loved both Tour of Duty and China Beach.

I was a Civil Air Patrol cadet then, and my best friend was the cadet squadron sgt and I was the LT, so we pretty much fashion ourselves off ZEKE and LT. The first season or two was the best, then it became kind of a soap opera with everyone having 'round eye' girlfriends.

Dad, who is a Nam vet, thought it was (while obviously cut down for TV and a bit hollywoody) was actually a bit better portrayal of Nam soldiers. Most did their job, went home, and went on with life.

I though 'McMurphy' (Delany) from China Beach was pretty cute too.

I'm pretty sure Rat Patrol was filmed in theater, North Africa during WWII. The Germans look real and all armor tactics look to be straight out of War College doctrine classes. Very realistic!
