For a 1963 TV show this episode of Route 66 not only shows the truth about the Vietnam war before most people knew what it was all about but it doesn't sugar coat it like most shows did a decade later. Way way ahead of its time in my opinion especially when you consider they were always behind schedule because of travel time with half a script and having to call Hollywood from their filming locations to get the rest of the script over the phone. They worked 6 sometimes even 7 days a week 12 hour days. This was a difficult series to say the least. I enjoyed this episode very much and am impressed by the acting of both Glenn Corbett and Martin Milner.
