Seen this episode several times and am impressed with the shock ending. Spoiler: POWs that Sam and Tom's unit are after is none. Other than Al Calavicci. When Andrea Thompson and Al say Pulitzer, but not for her, we get a clue who the 3rd POW is. At the end, Sam says' 'you could have been free', but Al says he was always free as he taps his forehead, and it would take 5 years, before Al is repatriated.
Only someone like Don Bellisario could write an episode about what the Vietnam War was like, from a veteran himself
