Trivia
- This episode's title is said by Pam in a confessional, referring to Max.
- Much controversy was caused due to the Roadblock involving a communist propaganda song and the visit to the downed B-52 Bomber that was shot down by North Vietnam that is used as a memorial for communist Vietnam's victory.
- This led to CBS making an apology (read by Phil Keoghan) at the beginning of the next episode stating that the task was insensitive to American veterans, particularly ones of the Vietnam War.
