<P> The opening theme song was an abbreviated version of The Rolling Stones hit `` Paint It , Black '' that had featured in the end titles of the 1987 Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket ; this was removed for the US DVD release . The closing consisted of an instrumental , synthesized tune with a distinctive Asian sound mixed in with acoustic guitar ; it was performed by Joseph Conlan , and was never released for public consumption other than in the series . That music was used as background music for most of the series . On the US release DVD most of the Vietnam War era popular music was replaced by instrumental bits to cover the blank spots of music . </P>
