Another Vietnam Episode

When one of Linc's buddies fails to deboard a plane arriving from Vietnam, the Squad spreads out and start investigating the small, tight-knit group of soldiers the missing man was in with.

This is another of the many episodes to deal with the after-effects of the Vietnam war and is a decent watch. Ben Murphy plays the slick leader; a young Bo Hopkins is the skirt-chasing shutterbug (Julie plays the 'dumb-bunny' to reel him in). The MVP here is Mike Margotta as the troubled, drug-addicted Fred. He also appeared as Hilary Thompson's hippie boyfriend in one of my favorite I DREAM OF JEANNIE episodes "Jeannie, My Guru".

The last scene before the epilogue features an unusual closing shot before the fade-out.
