This site rocks and from my Fav show of all time!!
The best there is ,was and will ever be..
It defined my 80s...and portrayed Vets in a positive way....right after the aftermath of the war when those of us who served had DEROSd and were gettin on with our lives.....and trying to forget the might have beens.
My wife doesnt understand..but shes never worn the uniform
The Nam backstory..for some reason, always haunted me..The episode where Magnum returns to his family in Va, confronts his stepfather and his failing airfreight biz then goes to the Wall
I lost it..really when Magnum went to the Wall..never made peace w the Wall until I went there in 2004..
and the thing is..I dont know why..other vets say..its survivors guilt,,maybe...but it along wihe wall scene W Bruce Willis in In Country have always hit me very hard....
Talking about it with other vets has helped...and older ex marine.fortunate to be alive as he was left for dead on a hillside when his patrol was overrun..insists its that guilt
Its just nice to see that someone has created a website devoted to this show
KUDOS and WELCOME HOME!!
