Line 9:
[[Jake Morgendorffer]] was almost sent to the Vietnam War after [[Buxton Ridge Military Academy]]. He escaped this because [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer|his father]] paid for him to go to [[Middleton College]], making him exempt ("[[The Daria Diaries]]") - though in "[[My Night at Daria's]]", he claims in anger that he wasn't drafted because "the war was winding down". Everyone from his class at Buxton was sent to the war, and in a grim mood in "[[The Lab Brat]]" he admits he likes to think they all died there.
 
[[Kevin Thompson]] knows there was a Vietnam War but doesn't know when the date was. [[Anthony DeMartino]] snarled at him that "a lot of good men died" in the war and admonishes him to "get the CENTURY right" ("[[Esteemsters]]"). It's fanon that DeMartino may have also been in the war.
 
On the [[Lawndale Lions]] website, a bitter [[Mack]] said they'd been studying Vietnam and "the parallels between serving in that conflict and playing high school football are really quite fascinating".

Vietnam veterans among the mainone-off characters include [[Jim]] of [[Jim's Paintballing Jungle]], the sheriff of [[Fremont]] (who has a photo of his platoon in his office), and Toby of [[Tokyo Toby]]'s sushi resturant. Toby once insulted Jake for not fighting in the war ("My Night").
 
"[[The Daria Hunter]]", set at Jim's Paintballing Jungle, pays homage to multiple Vietnam War films.
Line 21:

[[Smijey|Smileyfax]]'s grimdark "[[My Best Friend]]" series has Jake as a veteran, and "Man of the House" shows he has recurring nightmares of it.
 
'Nam lurks in the background of [[C.E. Forman]]'s "[[Fireworks]]": Jake is mistaken for a soldier, the hippy Keenak got out of the draft by failing his physical, and the characters mark the war's end.
