I knew someone, who claimed to have been on the (US) evacuation of Hanoi. I’m just a civ, but I’m a mil History geek, so I was like, “yeah”.

Sherman said, “War is Hell”! R E Lee said, “It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow to love it”.

My Dad went to basic At Fort Lewis.

I got separated from My field trip in 1st Grade. Then I got locked in the chicken house when I got home.

I have a very good friend who was a door gunner . Started out as what I would say was like a radar type . He learned the ropes and he didn’t join to sit behind a desk . I could listen to the man talk all day . Thanks Rob . A true hero

Gosh , I'm thrilled that I discovered KZbin just before 2025 , cough

Stuff is still showing up on my phone that I wasn't looking for, it's gone on forever,it has been a really screwed up Internet and I don't mean just recently

Just read Plasters Mac-Sog which was an overview. Your book should arrive Thursday and I hope it’s similar

I would never be with a fed. BUT, hear me out.

Can someone explain why John Chapman was left behind. I’m not hating and have never been in the military. Just want to know what happened. Did they think he was dead? Was comms not working. Did he not respond back. Just curious. I’m going to read alone at dawn . Just don’t know if anyone had more info. Thanks !

One of the considerations for using RH-53Ds was that the Iranian Navy also had RH-53Ds so presumably if any Iranians saw the helicopters they might assume that they were Iranian helicopters (indeed at least one of the helos left behind at Desert One was taken into Iranian service). It's too bad that they didn't use Air Force CH-53 special operations aircrew out of Sembach AB, some of whom that were still in service had flown at Son Tay, but not sure why they weren't used. Apparently there was a lot of competition between the 160th SOAR and Air Force MH-53 Pave Low squadrons for the mission. Eventually the Air Force switched to CV-22s.

I can give you odd numbered demerits. )

Another wonderful episode. Simon thank you for your service to your nation. Regards.

Wonderful episode. Thank you both for your time and Robin for your service to the nation you belong to.

🇷🇺 Their (Russian) Artillery are Fuckin' Good (Scary Good) - Andrew Milburn, USMC, CEO Mozart Group 💡😱 🤣

Thank You so much for this one.

Vietnam era recon teams such as LRRPs operated a lot differently than their contemporary counterparts do. They were used very offensively and their mission scope included things such as prisoner snatches, POW rescue attempts, ambushes, enemy harassment, direct assaults and calling in a lot of airstrikes. As a matter of fact, LRRPs easily saw more combat than all other teams combined. Some real legends came out of those units, research Patrick Tadina- he served five consecutive years in Vietnam running hundreds of missions as team leader without ever losing a single man. The guy was absolutely insane.... In a good way!

He looks like Ron White's badass brother 😤

Incredible patriot! God bless you and thank you for your service 🫡🇺🇸✝️

John is a chad

I’m medically retired airborne and I was in AZ taking care of my moms after my last deployment n injury that ended my run . My buddy from the gym were at a bar comes up and says this dude is a army ranger oh no kidding and meet the guy yea he wasn’t a ranger I worked with them there pro athletes and this dude wasn’t younger than me . I didn’t say anything I’m not a ranger not my place but said to my buddy he’s not real to soft

No way out for me ✌️and work together

Big difference between someone who never touched a gun until they join military at 18 then someone who has been shooting since 6 years old.

Very similar to Ray mcpadden’s story that you guys did year(s) ago . His 10th mtn tour was 16 month in incredibly arduous terrain, isolated with twice daily mortar & gunfights. It made the Stryker ct work he did with the ranger bat and seals seem anti-climatic where they had gyms, hots and cots every day.

Wade is a cool customer!! Not many GAMMA vets talk as they are overlooked by many who find DELTA,SIGMA & OMEGA and think that was all of the groups. Glad to see y’all got a stud like Wade on

😢😢😢😢😢GOD BLESS 🙏

PLEASE have more Vietnam veterans on to speak about their experiences. Brilliant interview, thank you.

SGM Eric Haney was an original member of Delta and would have gone on that Laos rescue mission. I remember in his book "Inside Delta Force" that he stated there were POW's left behind and he was pissed the rescue mission was scrubbed. I wonder if he still believes there were POW's there. I'm glad you pressed Wade about this potential mission. He made his opinion clear.

Afghans defeated NATO.

Thank you, sir, for your magnificent books.

Was this guy named after a rifle in the Spanish American War?

I believe the official story as much as the USS Liberty, Gulf of Tonkin, and fucking Pat Tillman.

You believe you don’t have a problem with Latrell cheating?

Looks like a hatsan velox pcp pistol
