Route 66.
This hit me like a sack of potatoes while watching one of the old reruns back in the late Nineties.
It was the last show the Series, and one of the two guys, not Martin Milner’s character, the other guy, mentioned in a bar that he was being recruited by some general to go and work in the strategic hamlet program in Vietnam.
This was during the Kennedy years when there was still optimism about that war.
Best,
