Leans Progressive

Primary

Tour of Duty's unflinching, realistic portrayal of the Vietnam War emphasizes its futility, moral ambiguity, and the profound psychological trauma inflicted on soldiers, aligning with critical, anti-war narratives often found on the left.

The movie features clearly visible diversity within its cast, reflecting the historical context of the Vietnam War, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers subtle critiques of the war and its impact, with DEI themes present but not explicitly central or framed as a strong critique of traditional identities.

Secondary

As the predominant religion in Vietnam, Buddhism is depicted through local villagers, monks, and temples. The show generally portrays these elements with cultural sensitivity, showcasing the resilience and spiritual life of the Vietnamese people, often contrasting their peaceful practices with the surrounding conflict.

The series frequently portrays American soldiers grappling with their Christian faith amidst the horrors of war, often finding solace, questioning, or moral guidance through it. Chaplains and religious services are depicted with respect, highlighting faith as a significant aspect of many characters' coping mechanisms and moral frameworks.

Tour of Duty, a Vietnam War drama from the late 1980s, did not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focused solely on the experiences of American soldiers without addressing queer identity or issues, resulting in no depiction.
