    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This is the first of 5 episodes that Bre Blair (Joss Morgan) appears in.
    • Goofs
      The interior shots of the aircraft the team is riding in do not match the aircraft (C-130) shown in the exterior shots of an aircraft flying. A C130 is considerably larger and to see/communicate with the pilot in the cockpit a person has to climb at least 2 or 3 steps.
    • Quotes

      Colonel Tom Ryan: War, Ms Brown is waste and chaos. Thats what it is. And it is.

      Colonel Tom Ryan: Its the most profound waste of life, time and spirit, treasure known to man.

      Colonel Tom Ryan: War is an obscenity and we say however that it is preferable to subjugation. And it is.

      Colonel Tom Ryan: Time and place and the cause of war however we may characterise it is, is most times beyond our control. And they are most certainly beyond the control of a soldier. All soldiers suffer in war and their families suffer equally.
