WOW!!!!! Great Series

WOW! I have been watching Tour of Duty for awhile. the series is awesome, realistic, and the actors are great. The soldiers in tour of duty are from all backgrounds: the rich, poor, black, white, dove, hawk, orphaned, etc. The actors (Knox, Caffrey, Becker, Franco, Nunez, Foster, Dye etc.) all did an excellent job portraying these characters. It is a shame that they never were given bigger roles.

Great series. Hope the actors show up on more movies and shows.
