The thongs in iraq were for the dudes. Its a fking sausage party over there. DURKA DURKA 🐐 👈🏻

Thank you for your service

When he seated that mag…. That’s the last thing a commie heard more than once from ol Tilt

Ray Ketchum : you mentored young soldiers and kid Troopers. You’re the type of Trooper that mentored me at the start of my career. Thank you Troop.

The m16 problems was due to a few things. But the main was that the ejection case was not chroned it needed to be crowned and it got built up in with jam

Very interesting and thank you not only for the story but also for your service. That Cavalry hat is so freaking cool.

The original m 16 jammed because of the conditions. After the guns got chrome lined chambers and bores, then they had earned the name of the sweet sixteens.

over an hour and he never admitted that America LOST THE WAR!!!

I was in the 82nd '84-'88. AIRBORNE!!

My oldest brother and hero, was in Vietnam in the 173rd '66-'68.

Outstanding!

Wow 👍

They don't make Americans like this anymore. I listen to a man like this, and then I think of the woke pukes that feed off of their efforts like leeches, and I feel betrayed.

My dad was a grunt on the front lines. What they went through was horrific! It was criminal!!!!!!

Those Vietnamese giant centipedes are no joke. I saw one in the Mekong Delta just a few weeks ago. It was as long as my forearm. My Vietnamese mother-in-law was bitten by one a few years ago and she cried in pain for 3 days. They eat frogs and snakes. Very nasty and scary creatures.

When did he realize that war was unwinnable and unnecessary?

Welcome home tilt

Met Nick Rowe in summer 1984 at an autograph signing event in Fayetteville’s Crosscreek mall. I was there for ROTC basic camp. Damn shame such an amazing person is murdered in the Philippines.

Just love to hear Tilts experiences totally epic and true Thank you Sir ❤

Missed this when it dropped. Incredible interview.

Refreshing to hear his humility when arriving in country of how they were surrounded by older vets who knew the ropes and thought it wise to heed their advice. My grandfather was a WW2 and Korean combat vet (82ndAA/505thPIR) and spoke of the "headless heros" what he called them. Basically new guys or replacements that thought they had it figured out and ended up "headless" or KIA because of ego. He also used to say "having a big head in combat makes for a larger target" I thank this man and the interviewers uncle, as well as all that served in combat for their sacrifice....and that includes the "headless heros"!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I’m obsessed on Nam. Read like 50 books since 92 ( before internet lol) at 12 years old n a ten speed to the library

Try n get anyone from Canada army in Afghanistan 2002 when usair took 4 Canadians by accident

I’m ready to bet 500 he didn’t dress like this at 16-18 in high school years.

❤❤❤❤❤ amazing information dump ❤❤❤❤

I am so proud to call John my neighbor and friend!

A healing question that logically answers itself, in the form of protective ammo & armor, can be found in the late Leonard Cohen's mindset... ''How can I begin anything new, with all of yesterday still in me ?'' In heartfelt support: ''There are none closer to - the very Author of pain & sacrifice ^itself. Than those who choose to - perform ^it for the sake & safety of others. How much more then: Those Wounded Living Sacrifices Who's performing ^it 24 - 7 ?'' So let ^it be known. So let ^it be done. So let ^it be covered by His Red Shed Blood ...tTt... ///^it\\\ ~Former U.S. Paratrooper Sgt William 'Rock' Gilpin 82nd Abn Div.1/504. Half a century ago '71- '74 Currently: Just another one of those many one's of... ''We His Believer's'' Who's eagerly waiting & watching for '.' His✝Just⚖Return🪃'.'

Incredible series

Read one door gunner's odyssey, "One February Morning". Nha Trang '68 - '69.

What a warrior

For what' its worth, many deep thanks to Chris. Sharing this stiff is reliving it, and we understand that as our families have four wars under their belt. My dad went through the dhit in the Pacific, my best friend in Panama and Gulf1 now morefamily in 'harms way'. Again, thanks to all for sharing. Every Marine and Army grunt must see this.

65-70 years later... no hesitation,, thats this or that, camp, Saigon l, Latrang. Dont think his experiences meant something to him. All his buddies. I teared up listening,,, reminded me of my buddies onboard the Goldy. What a great guy.

Holidays... I was strap hanging with a recon team of FOB2, summer of 68. We had spent the night about 50 feet off a trail(in Vietnam, not across the fence). The 1-0 had just lit a tiny bit of C-4 to heat his coffee. We immediately heard voices on the trail, and we went to ground. A fast mover(jet) had recently passed nearby, but no problem. Until someone dropped a cluster bomb on the far side of the trail. Nothing hit us. But we got on all the radios we had and ask anyone to stop the bombing. While we waited, the RTO at FOB2 said. "Oh, by the way, Happy Easter." the bombing (just the one cluster bomb) stopped. Some time later, we continued on our mission.

Thank you for this interview.

Boy, that part about them shooting down a biplane seemingly isn't recorded anywhere. That's an interesting annotation to history for biplanes if true.

Nice to hear your story John, after all your Sogcast interviews. Thank you.

@tprfk= Amen

I believe you interviewed my dad in a group call for your book during Covid times. James c cubitt special forces green beret Vietnam- thank you

God Bless you John Stryker Meyer. You are an American Treasure with a wealth of knowledge. You should be getting a Presidential Freedom Medal. Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences.

Many years ago I read Loyd Littles, "Parthenon Shot" he was a team medic in the Mekong.
