Handlung
Sergeant Zeke Anderson ist Leiter einer kleinen Infanterieeinheit im Vietnam. Deren Soldaten sind teilweise noch sehr unerfahren, bekommen es dementsprechend also oftmals mit Problemen zu tun. Die Missionen, auf die sie geschickt werden, haben es schließlich in sich. Ein wiederkehrendes Element der Serie ist der Tod, mit dem sich die Soldaten ebenfalls oft konfrontiert sehen. Die Serie deckt so gut wie jedes Thema ab, das den Krieg damals ausmachte: Unter anderem werden amerikanische Kriegsverbrechen, Rassismus und Kriegsgefangenschaft thematisiert.
