And there was a VERY lame MASH-clone
actually set in NAM a few years before
Tour of Duty; it lasted about 2 weeks.
Does anyone remember the name?

"The Green Berets" was a Hollywood film made during Nam & about Nam...

My stepdad saw it when he was actually IN Nam.
And whoever sent it there was an IDIOT!(he says)

Picture it: He and all his buddies are on a firebase, in Nam,
watching a movie in the dark...

And the movie has a scene where about a million Vietcong
overrun........ a firebase in Nam!
NONE of his unit got any sleep after that film;
he doesn't remember ANYTHING but that scene!!!
