Anyone Remember TOUR OF DUTY the show?

Post by MKSheppard »

Used to watch it as a kid.

It was a Vietnam war series on TV in the 1980s, and
in one episode, it turned out that this buddhist temple
was signalling the VC with it's bell...

So a guy drives up in a jeep and shoots the bell out of it's
tower with a full belt of 7.62 from a M-60 :twisted:

I watched it last year for the first time. That was a good show.

I remember that show. Not very well, now. I remember the theme song the most.

I've seen a couple episodes, seemed pretty good.

I watched every episode. I thought it sucked ass, but I'd rather watch Enterprise or Voyager than do homework.
