Action! Lots of action! Too many episodes of "The Lieutenant" had devolved into syrupy soap operas. It's nice to see an episode that involves fighting, war, and battle. There is plenty of footage of landing parties, tanks, helicopters, mortars, and troops getting into the conflict.
The antagonist, character Lt. Joe Worth, is well-played by actor Jan Merlin. A great choice by casting. You just don't like this guy, and that was the point.
Not too many back stories or flashbacks, there is something going on with the Medical staffer (nurse?), but not much more.
Robert Vaughn is good, as always. He is dying of acute appendicitis, but he is still able to express his disdain, and bark out orders to Lieutenant Rice.
You are expecting some sort of group hug or good old boy forgiveness handshake at the end. Watch and see if it happens!
Once again, this is a great show because we get lots of Military action.
NINE STARS for "Green Water, Green Flag"!
