Goofs

Between 1964, and 1973 2.2 million men were drafted for the war effort in Vietnam. Volunteering would mean a man could have more freedom of choice as to which branch of the service he would enter, and what specialized training he might get. The draft was set for men born between 1944, and 1950. Men 18 years of age were eligible for the draft, and men as young as 17 were allowed to enlist on their own, and it was preferred they did make that choice themselves.

User Reviews

Dig it!

OK. I don't usually post reviews. I was very psyched about this series as it was advertised like crazy all over Los Angeles. It seemed like everywhere I turned there was a billboard or bus with ads for this series. I watched the opening episode and was impressed. I was looking forward to adding another solid episode to my line up. I have to admit that the subsequent episodes did not impress me as much as the first one. They were OK but they didn't draw me in. I have to admit that I missed one or two shows. I actually just happened to catch the Lord of War and Thunder. I wasn't planning to watch it. I am very happy to report that it did not disappoint. In fact, it has drawn me back into the series. I know have this show set to record on my DVR. Keep up the good work!
