something about this clip ALWAYS gets to me. i think it is the music, and the whole gang coming together.
-
Genius of a show...everything comes together so brilliantly - the actors, script, music, editing ...i also like how a couple of the actors found new roles cos of their cameos in this e.g. Mark Harmon (brill in NCIS) & Dulle Hill (Psyche).

@Prod1Kh Best explanation I've heard yet.

@Songsmirth As the proud daughter of a Marine WWII vet, I can attest to that.

You want to know why I think this is a great show? Despite the fact that it is one of the most Liberal shows I've ever seen (and I being a Conservative)...the writing and acting of this show makes me look beyond the politics and admire this show as a work of television art. Not many politically themed shows can do that. The plot/acting is good, but never enough to make me want to keep watching. This is an exception. That is why i think this is a great show.

This is the SADDEST yet most MOVING scene I ever saw... YET VERY GOOD

Toby says, "I got better treatment at Panmunjom." Panmunjom is a village on the border between North and South Korea; it is not in Vietnam. The statement is a reference to the deceased veteran's service during the Korean War, with Toby suggesting the veteran received better treatment in a war zone than in his homeland.
Regarding Toby, he never served in Vietnam and later in the series talks about how he was lucky his draft number was never called.

re: Vietnam, for a long time, I too thought Toby served in the war, based on this episode. But, like others said, later they said he didn't.
I think this clip could be interpreted 2 ways: 1) either the writers changed his backstory after year 1 (possible), or 2) his comment was sarcasm, he might have been talking for the homeless marine "I got better treatment in..." ironically. (like those old t-shirts, "I went to 'Nam and all I got was this stinkin T-shirt") :)

@lane0065 Toby did not serve in Vietnam. In one episode he talks openly about how his draft number never came up.

Sure, it's a bit melodramatic, but still I'm always awed by this clip. The West Wing at its best.
