Thanks for the info, cjay. I wont bother answering the vague generalizations he made in the "casualties" thread, then. M 
: You seem to have an awful lot of problems with
: Tour of Duty. Why do you watch it and obsess
: about and come on the board and continually
: slam it????
: We all love it and will give you a real beat

: Did anyone else catch the fact that these
: guys
: stayed in Vietnam nearly 2 years. The show
: starts in 1967 and concludes in late 1969.
: Too long for the Tours of Duty for Ruiz and
: Purcell.
: Even with the 3 month extension for the
: instant out, it just does not add up.
:
: The final season really burned up the time.
: Single episodes were spanning weeks. What
: were the writers thinking?!
:
: This was alot like the same problem that
: faced the old "Combat" or
: "MASH" series. To make a story
: interesting, it would cover weeks in a
: single episode. Evidently the writers had
: forgotten that only a finite number of those
: weeks historically existed.
: "MASH" especially
: was terrible for this -- they actually
: turned back the clock a number of times --
: 1952 in
: season 2, but 1951 in season 5. Continuity
: error city!
