While Hughes usually succeeds in his comic effect, there are moments that amount to nothing more than bad taste. Examples include a young woman with a back brace who is constantly tripping or drenching her face in water fountains, and the Asian exchange student whose name--Long Duck Dong--alone should demonstrate the racist stereotyping of his character. Equally cardboard is Jake's beautiful but shallow girlfriend, who tells Jake: "I fantasize that I'm your wife and we're like the richest, most popular adults in town...

...Communists hit in a hundred places, from Quang Tri near the DMZ in the north all the way to Duong Dong on the tiny island of Phu Quoc off the Delta coast some 500 miles to the south. No target was too big or too impossible, including Saigon itself and General William Westmoreland's MACV headquarters. South Viet Nam's capital, which even in the worst days of the Indo-China war had never been hit so hard, was turned into a city besieged and sundered by house-to-house fighting...
...whirring helicopters, cascades of bombs from the bellies of B-52s, the devastation wrought by battle. As used in the series, the camera is also a neutral observer: it provides a forum to participants ranging from former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to Vietnamese Premier Pham Van Dong and from Americans who considered the war honorable to those who believed it immoral.
