There's been a problem ever since World War Two with our intervention in wars that maybe we don't have any business being involved in. A montage portrait of West
Point Class of 87, who enter the army with tensions high in the Persian Gulf, Central America and Korea, and of a uniformed officer at the centre of the Iran Contra scandal.
They comment on the state of their nation, on the army, and on the next war they're likely to fight. But more than anything, they wrestle, as soldiers and as scholars, with the lessons and the legacy of Vietnam.
Their views and comments are set in relief against contributions by former graduates, both in and out of the US Army, and the sounds of daily life at West Point.
Producer CARROLL MOORE. Stereo (Re-broadcast tomorrow at 4.5pm)

A patient with a suspected liver problem is investigated swiftly and painlessly by ultrasound. A lady drowses lightly as her gallstones are removed without open surgery. The future looks more comfortable for patients and more efficient for the NHS. Producer ALISON RICHARDS. Stereo
