Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction." (edit) Interestingly Tia Carrere later appeared in the Quantum Leap episode The Leap Home Part 2 which also took place in Vietnam.

Fulbright: I am not going to steal a military airplane.
Face: Of course you're not. We are. You are just coming along for the ride. (edit) (speaking about Vietnam)
Murdock: Colonel, can I ask you a question? Before we went back, did you ever think about it?
Hannibal: I remembered it, but I didn't think about it. (edit) (Murdock has just escaped the VA hospital)
Fulbright: I'm not gonna have any part of this. We're busting a ring ding out of the hospital!
B.A.: I finally agree with this guy! (edit) Fulbright: Smith... you and your men... good soldiers... I'm glad... we ended up... on the same... side. (edit) Fulbright: I want all of you to know one thing: as much as I wanted and needed you to go on this mission with me, I never really thought you were innocent... until now. (edit)

Murdock's Shirts says:
"Everything comes to an end." (edit) Fulbright recognises Murdock even though he didn't seem to know who he was upon meeting him in Mission of Peace.
