I saw one episode of "Call to Glory" and can understand why it was
cancelled.  This episode dealt with a white Air Force colonel and
black enlisted man, who were captured by the North Vietnamese.  The
show dealt with alot of civil rights and human rights types of
issues, which I think are good types of issues to put on TV.

Now why dosen't this show sell?  I think there are 2 reasons.
First, the conservative types who want to see blood-and-guts type
war shows don't want human rights problems amplified and certainly
don't want to watch them on TV.  Second, the bleeding-hearts don't
want to have to watch an imperialist war show to get to see human
rights issues.  Now, who's left to watch the show?  Apparently no
one.
