For those of us who spent our teenage years during the time of the Viet Nam war, this show is particularly poignant. It reminds me of so many confusing feelings I had during that time. And it reinforces my hatred of our current "war". China Beach was a show I would love to view again and again. The acting was excellent as was the script. I would recommend this to anyone who was in their teens during the 60's. And there is a huge crowd of us just waiting for this to be released on DVD. The characters were so real, some scary, some incredibly fun. There were comic moments and very serious, sad moments. I feel it described the times very well. I still miss this show! American Dreams was another show that brought back many memories of that time and my teenage years.
