But I agree I'd have liked to see more about the effects of the war on them. Not to the extent of them still being like Kyle right into the 1980's since they couldn't have worked the way they did if they were still so badly affected.

yeah, sometimes watching the show, and then reading some fanfic, I do think, did these guys really suffer because it doesn't seem that apparent on the show. I know that it IS ten years on, but even so, Murdock is the only one still *suffering*. But then maybe he's suffering for all of them.

Sound Of Thunder gave us a taste that they didn't like being back there.

I suppose, now that we are older we want more from the show, but really it WAS for kids ;o)

I think, if it wasn't for POW camp mention, I probably would have been okay with their being okay ;-) Despite the press and media portrayals, most Vietnam vets went on with their lives without anything other than "normal reactions" to the war. But just for dramatic value (TAT had that occasionally LOL) I would have liked the others to have "shared" some of Murdock's "quirkiness". Then again, maybe the very fact that they had no problem blowing things to bits, shooting up neighborhoods and driving everywhere like it was the Indy 500 was that manifestation :D

You know, I've just watched Recipe For Heavy Bread (had it on in the back ground whilst I played with my son...no way was he having a nap ;o( )and if this one doesn't cover the POW camps, I don't know which one does.

So these guys did suffer because at the end Lid Duk Koo or however you spell it, says "you saved my life" and Hannibal replies, "No, you saved ours." Quite a strong message there.

Also, your story came flooding back to me too ;o) Well done you!!!! ;O)

Well, I've often said Face has a more active fantasy life than Murdock. Murdock plays at being a movie director in Bend in the River. Face in Range Rider thinks he can actually get away with being a real producer! :D

It would certainly be good for relieving stress.

Agree 100%! LOL That aspect of his character opens the door for so many plot lines ;-)
