Millennium Season 1 Episode 14

Hance's birthday is given as February 1953 and that he entered the Army after his grandparents were killed when he was 17. This gives an enlistment date sometime in late 1970 at the very earliest. While it would be possible for him to have served two one-year tours in Vietnam before the final pull-out in early 1973, they would not likely have been ground combat tours as to viewer is supposed to infer. (Have to bring on the crazy Vietnam vet.) After the Cambodian campaign in early to mid-1970, Vietnamization (turn-over of operations to the Vietnamese Military) American military operations were limited to advising, intelligence, supply, and various forms of combat support. After 1970 there were too few American combat troops for any sort of major combat operation.
