There were a few that alluded to it, but it never was a 'focus point'. But you brought up a good point - there weren't that many shows on TV where vets were portrayed positively - or at least, functioning. And the movies were worse - they were either psychopaths or unable to do anything that wasn't kill or be killed thinking. Like Castillo - that always irritated me the way he was some kind of Ninja/Mystic Super Hero. Gad.
That said, I would really have loved to see more of the Sound of Thunder or Nice Place type eps. But that goes along with the writers remembering they were SF ;-)

lol! I suppose there are different writers for different eps, and some just didn't quite get the SF angle right did they?
Yeah, Castillo was just very odd altogether. :D And Crockett had some issues now and again, if I recall right (Been a long time since I've seen it.) But Miami Vice was more of a purely dramatic show than TAT or Magnum P.I., so it would explore that side of it a bit more, I suppose.
