In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court ...
for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.


Just thought I'd let people know in case they need some help.

1. This is the part that I never understood
If the military was looking for the A-Team why didn't they just hire the A-Team?

2. Because the A-team isn't going to sell itself out!

And how do they hire what they can't find?

7. That's why they always started with the "elaborate" disguises
so they could check that the person hiring them wasn't from the military.

4. Sounds to me like Mr T and his pals are enemy combatants who should
be sent to Gitmo. Time to alert Homeland security.

5. I've figured out why we lost Vietnam.
After analyzing many hours of combat footage, I've come to the conclusion that in fact, we were destined to lose from the very beginning.

Now, in jungle warfare there's an obvious need for crack commando teams. Now obvious there's need for a highly qualifed squad leader, some guy who can come up with a plan and bring it all together. And obviously there's need for a big brutish grunt, some guy who can use heavy machine guns and is highly trained in throwing Charlie through breakaway doorways. And it's very handy to have some guy who's a trained pilot, and can confuse the enemy with his zany antics. But what was some clusterfuck noncom smoking when he thought it would be a good idea to include on every special ops squad some smooth talking, debonaire, sexy playboy? Who's he going to seduce in the jungle? Charlie don't swing that way. If we had spent a fraction of the Vietnam budget on B-52s instead of white t-top corvettes, we would have one that war by Christmas.
