Excellent drama about the Vietnam war. Respectful treatment of Vets., 4 September 1998
10/10
Author: Flyer-6 from Nashville, TN

China Beach is my all-time favorite TV drama. The series combined the drama and adventure of war time with a tender respect for the men and women who served in Vietnam. I am especially appreciate of the respect shown to the soldiers.
