thecrazyalaskanIt occurred to me today that I have a bit of a penchant for fictional veterans:
> All four members of the A-Team (of course)—Colonel Hannibal Smith, Captain HM Murdock, Lieutenant "Face" Peck and Sergeant BA Baracus – Vietnam
> Michael and Devon (Knight Rider) – Michael (Long) in Vietnam, Devon in WWII
> Rear Admiral (Upper Half) Al Calavicci (Quantum Leap)– Vietnam
I also noticed that almost all of them were at one point prisoners of war—there was an episode of the A-Team in which they helped a Vietnamese immigrant who had helped them in a POW camp, Devon's busted himself out of a Nazi prison camp twice, and Al was a POW near Cham Hoi, Vietnam*.
This is kind of a fascinating coincidence. *ponders*
