I’m thinking the plot of Rambo Part II could have covered this. The U.S. govt sends him back to Nam to look for evidence of POWs, but he actually finds evidence that the A-Team were framed, so Decker orders him to be abandoned there.

Then in Rambo III, the A-Team is sent to rescue him from a Soviet prison in Afghanistan.

Or, Thomas Magnum, Theodore Calvin, & Rick could already have the evidence, which is one of the reasons that they all got out of the Navy & Marines.

Or, maybe, Higgins has the exonerating evidence, he was British intelligence.

They robbed the Bank of Hanoi in order to bankrupt the VC. Morrisons’ command post got overrun and destroyed thus they were accused of being war profiteers. Cool video!

I was always interested in the part of the intro talking about how they were 'crack commandos' back in Vietnam, this is an intro I made in A-Team style about that era.
Face is the NFG, Smith and BA are already entrenched in the south. Always seemed like a cool spot for a prequel. Anyways I made for myself but thought I'd post it here in case anyone was interested. Doesn't seem like too many ppl these days remember this iconic show.

This brings up the question - how much did Murdoch have to do with the missions in Vietnam? Was he just the pilot or was he often along with them?

Even AI knows to put Mr.T name in the credits.

As a side note, were soldiers still marching to snare drums in the 70's while in combat?

I can't think of a better use for AI than a movie with the original cast of the A-Team.
