This is my first review of an episode of COMBAT! I've been a fan since watching the very first episode with my dad and little brother when I was twelve. By Season 5, I had grown tired of the same scenery week to week, and the wholesale slaughter of hapless Germans. Too, hormones were beginning to rage. I am writing my own war memoir now as Wim Grundy over at Wordpress, and am revisiting the show to watch episodes of Season 5 never before seen. Once I turned OFF the color in my TV's settings it was a better show - more reminiscent of the earlier broadcasts. As a combat infantry veteran of the Vietnam War, I basically skipped the slaughter for the most part by (1) turning off the sound and (2) adverting my eyes. What was left, with generated subtitles, watched on YouTube, was a strong story that I could identify with. I too was an outsider in the two combat units I ended up in, as it was late (1971) in the war and Nixon was sending the troops home. Our episode's protagonist was welcomed by the Squad; I never really got to know the men I served with and was not made to feel welcome. This episode is good therapy for me. I look forward to watching it again as I deal with PTSD.
