I would highly recommend anyone to read these books, i have read most of them and they superb books, it is very tense to go with these fellows through the jungles of Vietnam, and they are real, no fiction, that is amazing

I used to be able to easily find this entire episode to watch somewhere on the internet, but in 2024 I can't seem to find it anywhere. I know Capt. Larry T. Manes and he is in the episode because he was an instructor there, so I would like to download and save it if possible.

My father was a LRP 67-68 but he said he didn't go to Recondo School because some team members had to stay back and actually run missions.

Currently reading "Long Range Patrol" by Dennis Foley. It's a novel but essentially reads like any Vietnam memoir I've read.

I meet Gary Linder, had coffee and talked i'm sure he'd remember my sons and my brother, as I left him a Hummer coffee cup. I have both of his books and he autograph them. he had another hard back he signed but I don't remember the name. Gary was a very very nice man, a real credit to America. God Bless him. mark stapleton.

Where’s the full documentary of this and LRRPs? I remember seeing this on the History Channel years ago but can’t find them on KZbin

It was Catch-22, Larry. About some pilots stationed in Italy in WW2, I believe.

God bless sir

This is a great clip, what is it from?

Lên dân tộc rồi bắt gái về chơi đấy Bịp dân Cộng sản thì nhiều trò bịp lắm

Thank you for your service. My dad was in the Army in the 577th engineers. He was in Don Doung about 30 or 40 clicks from phan rang airbase up the mountain. He was there in 70. I love your stories. The first vietnam war book i read was Blood on the risers. Ive read it about 50 times over the years prob. Also Guns Up! And Semper Fi. All great reads. The men and women who went to the Vietnam War are remarkable people who did a very Hard job and yall did it well. I love everyone of you.

Eyes of the Eagle was my favorite book when I was growing up. Truly an amazing read.

" Welcome Home Bro. back to the States." Gonna bury your litter like a good Soldier? " Take Care Brother "

Where is the full episode?

May the healing continue. May you be successful in your endeavors. I just finished reading "Approaching Vietnam From World War II through Dienbienphu" By Lloyd C. Gardner. Published 1988. It's a tough read but really verifies what you have discovered. Be Well.

Mr Chambers, I thank you for your service. But much of what you stated is political hyperbole. First the Khmer Rouge was in existence since 1951 and had operated as a political party and a communist insurgent group, in the same way as the Viet Minh and Pathetic Lao during the same time period. The mistaken propaganda that the US bombing created the Khmer Rouge is hogwash and you should know that. Even if the bombing on the Ho Chi Minh trail contributed to the destabilization of Cambodia. Whose fault is that??? Why did we bomb the Ho Chi Minh trail? Because North Vietnam was moving forces and supplies through that area and the Cambodia n military either could not or would not run the NVA out. Or better yet if the NVA had honored Cambodia’s and Lao’s neutrality they would not have invaded Cambodia and Laos. That’s right the NVA use of the Ho Chi Minh trail was an invasion. They are the ones who dragged Cambodia and Laos into the war by occupying the territory of these countries to weak to resist. The NVA also armed and trained the Pathet Lao and Khmer Rouge with Soviet and CCP weapons. And let’s not forget in less than 3 years after the US military left and Saigon fell, the Communist Vietnamese and the Communist Khmer Rouge were at each other’s throats. So don’t portray the Cambodian and Vietnamese as sweet innocent children of God holding hands, passing out flowers and singing Kumbaya My Lord. And they were turned in hate filled genocidal psychopaths by the presence of the US. Hogwash just guilt ridden hogwash.

Good books, I have read a lot of them. I would also add "Six Silent Men" Books 1,2 and 3!

There was a male monky who lived there with many female monkies ? Where is their bed?

Thanks for sharing Larry.

thank you for your service Larry

I bought Recondo and have listened to it more than once!!!! Love it!!!

Did you have to get a permit to go there?

Thank you much-loved 11D, 96B

Hey Mr chambers, what cigar do you like

Most LRPs did not get to attend Recondo school because they were actually out running missions and did not have the luxury of taking a break to attend class. The best training was to be out in the field.

My father was a LRRP with the 173rd / 74th infantry detachment. Still alive, strong and healthy. He is a very humble man.

I thought I had read all of the LRRP books but it turns out there are a few more. Thanks Larry and all the other LRRPs, you set the standard for Special Forces. God bless each and every one of you.

There is no freeeekin way you'd get me to go hiking though that jungle.

One of my uncles served with you and you mentioned his name in one of your books. Ronald Reynolds. I never had the chance to meet him but I was told he was a good man. Thank you for your service and your one of the elite!

I've read your book Recondo many times..great book.

ive read about every book i can find by you guys to include wings of the eagle by Mr Grant. that book got me interested in your guys story....thank you and bless you all.

“ Recondo”. Not sure if it’s the same one you are referencing. I came across in late 1980 that opened my eyes on. Written by some guy who became a college prof in California talking about he ended up in Recondo, the training and how Recondo wax utilized

biggest respect to all the vietnam veta.. God Bless

Larry, I am probably one of thousands of middle-aged dudes who read your nail -biter books in my twenties. I would LOVE, LOVE to see you do a Podcast with one of the gents like Jocko Wilink. How do we get that going? Should I contact him? He will know who you are, considering he's interviewed many former reconnaissance fellows from the Vietnam War. I'll send him a message, I guess?

Good afternoon Mr.Chambers ! Never thought I would see you humping in Vietnam again.

I am a true American, love my country but found out a lot of information of the wars we got involved with, I'll just start from Vietnam to Iraq, Afghanistan...were only perpetrated for global desires of money. You are correct in your statement!! Why Trump wants us out of wars that are generated to create money for the global central bank systems...it creates money for the "Elite's". Thank you for your service, and your great books. God bless

Great books sir👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Please tell the movie producers to read these recorded memories, most of them would think it is fiction, when it comes to the re enforcement of the LRRPs who were involved in a contact which included a massive explosion. There is NO way to show the determination of fellow LRRPs some of whom were just getting out of the shower, fighting to get on board a rescue chopper!!

Your book and Gary's are the standard for reading in the Cdn special forces as it is now called. Next time I am in Cambodia, not clearing land mine the next round is on me!!!

Tiger!

having read and reread some of the books mentioned plus others really got me addicted to learning about vietnam war. also reading some of the aussie books ( im aussie). they all made me laugh , cry and my jaw dropped in amazement and awe of what was accomplished. thankyou for sharing your experiences in these books. take care mate.

LOL at that money on the leaf. I walked up alone in 2017, it was claustrophobic. You made it to the clearing though, that's the place you can see in old pics with the APCs guarding the perimeter.

being a tanker i never went to HAMBURGER HILL ther were plenty of NVA enemy soldiers around DAK_TKO the old special forces camp on cambodia border. 4th inf. div. 10th armored.

Looks like he's still sitting in the jungle..... :)

Believe it or not, I have read All the books you talked about, and they all are Great Reads. Gone Native and Pathfinder are also Great books. I liked Raynell Martinez book in the order of Ken Miller and Gary Leardner books to. Thank you for taking time to share these books with us, and also your time in Vietnam.

Tiger the LRRP dog rules. Read it almost 30 years ago and thought it was the best.

I found "Death in the A Shau Valley" when I was in iraq. It gave me perspective, set me straight and put me on a better path as a person and a soldier. Mr Chambers, thank you for writing this book.

Read and collected all those books you mentioned while growing up in the Philippines. Even after I moved to the US, in fact. Inspired me to join the US Army. I'm retired now after doing 20 years. Got 3 tours on my belt in Iraq. And a couple more to other countries working as a security contractor.

Larry Chambers...I would have loved to joined you guys on this trip...incredible! Imagine being"point"in that terrain...at night...during the campaign,damn intimidating.
