Maybe the show is catered to a younger audience, which would explain why a full episode about Jack and Vietnam would be labeled as "boring." Personally, as a Vietnam Vet (1969-70), I was apprehensive about watching it. But my wife and I watch it together, and so we did this episode.
The writers totally captured the anxiety, stress, and confusion about what to do, when Jack and his brother (and their mother!!) were awaiting the draft lottery. Kudos to the writers and actors. Where this episode fails, and fails miserably, is when depicting the war itself. Except for a few scenes, this entire part of the episode looked and felt like Hollywood. Hadn't anyone associated with the production of this great show seen any film clips of the war??? The rambling talk on patrol. All that heavy gear. And a football out in the boonies? Really??? REALLY???
But one thing this period in our lives was not, was boring. Stateside and in-country, we were all (young men and women, moms and dads, brothers and sisters) on pins and needles, worried about our future.
