The A teams were vigilantes. They never targetted innocents and most importantly they never actually killed anyone!

Its true though they had noble intentions they broke the law at every opportunity, were Americas most wanted on the run, carried illegal weapons and did not hesitate to use them, had many explosives and blew up most things in sight, did hijackings and kidnap operations, were willing to die for their cause, chose violence over dialogue and diplomacy, etc.

They made terrorism cool and acceptable and were sophisticated enough to send out media messages to radicalise the youth through networks spreading their call of violence and messages of extremism through mainstream media even having their own show.

LOL they were mercs for hire. They did the jobs that the government couldn't. Every episode was the same though...BA gets knocked out,bad guys get upper hand, BA Mcgyvers some kind of weapon system Dirk Benedict got the girl, the bad guys always crashed their car by flipping through the air. Every show ended with Hannibal's buzzwords, "I love it when a plan comes together"

I entirely agree. They were nothing but a bunch of thugs. All they needed was a clonable suicide bomber of Mr T. Their philosophy was one of spreading fear and inducing people to change their behaviour via the threat of extreme violence, loss, and pain.

Did the A-team ever kill people? Im pretty sure they'd capture the bad-guys at the end and leave them to the police.

It's one of those shows you go back to as an adult on some second-rate cable channel only to realise that it's actually, sadly, rubbish, and it must have been sheer nostalgia that convinced you otherwise.

I lurrrrrrrrrrved the A-Team :D

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 New England Grocery Stores. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a planogram problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find them - maybe you can hire:

TA TA TA TA TA NA TA TA TA TA....sing along :D :hidban: :D
