The saying, “fear the old man in a profession where men die young” comes to mind

[@mfranks4731]

He takes it to a whole other level haha

[@BASE5NYC]

Hunting the Jackal is a great book about Billy's insane adventures. Legendary.

[@dongoodman8398]

I bet. Gotta read that one

[@jameshirt7689]

If you get a chance, check out the audio book. It's my number one

Among the toughest guys to ever walk the earth. RIP

[@ralphholiman7401]

The closest I ever got to knowing Billy Waugh was knowing a guy who worked with him a couple of years. And, that guy worshipped Waugh.

[@screamingeagle11b]

This dude is badass, he makes me look at my life and realize I've done nothing ....much respect to this man

Its never too late

[@ricprado6514]

Great recap of a great man. A true legend in both SF and CIA. Unfortunately, the video has at least a dozen photos & clipswho are NOT of Billy. Trust me, I know.

[@thecampdogsdad4937]

Lol. I just watched this video and thought, “I’m pretty sure I saw several of these pictures on the Jack Carr podcast last week.” I’m reading Billy’s book now, and yours is next! Thank you for your service.

[@guitrich]

They kept showing at least three times, the picture of Capt. Ken Bowra, while referring to Mr. Waugh.

[@thecampdogsdad4937]

@@guitrich The original commenter (above) is Ric Prado. He was shown in the video several times, referring to him as Billy Waugh. Mr. Prado was among other things, a counter terrorist specialist and operations officer, then later helped run the Bin Ladin task force and was the Chief of Operations in the CIA's Counterterrorist Center. He did a fantastic interview on the Jack Carr podcast on KZbin, and wrote a book.

[@jerrywilbur7020]

I imagine you would, Sir. Thank you for your legendary service as well!

[@ricprado6514]

@@jerrywilbur7020 Thank you. Billy was a dear and cherished friend. This video was well intended, so it all goes to recognition of Billy... inaccurate photos aside. Cheers

[@ttrnv]

Wow, no research done at all. Talking about CAG before it was established, RPK while showing pic of RPD… This giant man deserves more respect!

[@chuck.reichert83]

RIP Billy Waugh

Billy fought with my grandfather in Ho chi Minh Vietnam . I have pictures of Billy with my grandfather Infront of a chopper full of Vietnamese.

A hero and true mentor

[@tnreprasentog7769]

Billys story and my grandfathers story are pretty much the same other than the CIA my grandfather ran away from home in New York City at 13 went to California and did the same thing he joined the army at 16 and joined Special forces and served five tours in Vietnam before retiring from the Army and settling down in Tennessee... Pretty wild

[@timwolfe2817]

Is he still alive? I live in TN and I would love to shake his hand !

[@zacharystuart7162]

Imagine knowing that a unit is suffering 100% casualties and still taking on the challenge. Being dropped into a strange place where everyone wants to not only kill you but torture you as well. I mean it doesn't get anymore brave then that.

[@illumination101]

Smart & military desire early in life= deadly

[@chorinzen]

The photos of the paratrooper having his gear checked, are oictures of Sgt Madison Stroeleihn. Who went missing after a halo in july 1971. His body was never recoverd. He is STILL MIA.

[@ncstonecrew]

The lead picture for the story with the red circle around it, is MG Ken Bowra not Billy. Billy Waugh’s book is fantastic!

[@UnSengorX]

The one in the thumbnail is NOT William Waugh, that's Gen. Ken "el Cid" Bowra

The map jumps to central Mexico instead of New Mexico.

The photo of him with Vietnamese soldiers ( 1:41)is fake. His facial features are to sharp and defined compared to the grainy faces in the rest of photo.

[@tedbaxter5234]

Automated Narration and too many photos that 100% are not part of the story. Embarrassed I spent two minutes on this monstrosity.

[@eldiablophantasmosnightvis3448]

Close to good video but yet so so so far . With all due respect you need ro have some respect when covering a true to this world hero. You can start small with something easy like knowing the simple difference between New Mexico, a state within the USA, and the entire country of Mexico. Just start there. Simple steps. Thats just one tiny difference in the details one needs to grasp to be either a Hero or a lazy youtube content creator. Trying to help 👍😉

[@Whywhatwherehowwhen]

This documentary is terrible. The footage and images used are all over the place from WW2 to present day. 1:41 this is not a picture of Billy Waugh. This is Ken Bowra with RT Sidewinder. 2:49 this is not Billy Waugh either. This is RT Idaho. Billy was never a 1-0 of RT Idaho 5:26 Ken Bowra again 😂

[@DA-lk5np]

[@user-vd8zw6lt3g]

The images often have nothing to do with the narration. The video is an amateur effort at best.

Cool story but I wish they used period correct footage when describing it.
