Stateside Tour of Duty

Drafted into the Army at the height of the Vietnam War, Nick Moultrie is assigned to Fort McCullogh, Texas. Despite the relative safety from war and monotony of stateside work, he experiences crazy senseless episodes where people are killed and military carers destroyed. He marries and his wife almost dies with the birth of their first child when he is away. He seeks retribution against a callous Red Cross official which results in persecution from senior officers. He then saves lives in a shootout with an antiwar terrorist group and is relieved of duty for a very minor infraction. Nick must somehow avoid ending his military service in disgrace.
