Had the pleasure of meeting Cliff at a gym here in Fayetteville N.C. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. I knew he was a S.F. but never knew he was SOG. Thank you sir for the pleasure and the honor of getting to know you even briefly.

Dear Mr Glover. My name is Jesse. I always wanted to be a marine growing up. But I was expelled from highschool and got involved with alcohol and drugs. Ive been in multiple treatments and detoxes. I would get sober for awhile then fall down. Them sober and fall again. My last treatment they showed a video called make your bed by admiral mccraven. That's what saved my life. I could relate to everything he said to life and also recovery. I watch your podcast. Jocko podcast and many other military based podcasts. You special forces guys don't quit! So I started a military recovery. Just like in boot camp and training they break you down. So.... I started to break myself down with therapy, dual diagnosis program, more therapy and forgave myself. I then built myself up to what i wanted to be. I then wanted to start helping others in recovery so i now work in the recovery field. All of these podcasts I watch gave me the never quit attitude to keep staying sober even though I might be having a bad day. But i learned just because im having a bad day doesn't mean im having a bad life so just stay in the fight because tomorrow will be better. I just wanted to thank you and jocko and andy stumpf and many other heroes that keep me fighting everyday. So basically I stayed sober through the military and never served a day in uniform. But... Im giving service everyday to others who need help with addiction. I would love to meet you guys one day and personally thank you for helping me and thank you for keeping this country safe. Yours sincerely... Jesse

Never was a Green Beret but that WAS my end game when I joined. But I served 6 years in the 2/75 from 2009-2015. After 5, 110 day deployments each having roughly 100 combat missions sometimes multiple targets a night I was burnt out mentally and physically. The Ranger life can break you, it’s all the hardest, loudest, nonstop most Ranger way. I loved my time in the regiment and would do it over and over but after that last trip to Afghanistan I was done. Each time I went over there I left a little piece of me over there and I didn’t have much more to leave behind. I had to jump off the train and look out for me. That’s what people sometimes don’t realize. The military especially special operations is a giant train and it don’t stop for anyone either your on it or your not.

Listened to every word. Thanks Cliff for the excellent work you performed. I'm speechless. I have lots of friends who were there. One of them was my stepfather. I knew my biological father, but he didn't have a thing to do with my life. However Staff Seargent Harold (Hank) Frank Smith USMC did. He did two combat tours in 'Nam. Door gunner on the evac missions. Shot down at least once i think twice. Purple Heart...that guy made a man out of me just by being who he was. I put his ashes in the wall in Coronado. So much to say...who do we tell? I don't know. However as a survivor of a carreer Marine i have a special place in my heart for all the folks who were there. I have even been a "chaparone" for a friend who was 101st Airborne. Richard Metsiou from Brooklyn. 100% PTSD. He was a lone survivor of an entire platoon blasted to hell on Hamburger Hill. He could'nt go out in the general public without a chaparone. I was that guy for him, had to tell a bar bouncer to stand down once because Rick got emotional at a bar in Lake Elsinore re-living the shit that happened to him over there and when he came back home once. Dude wanted to be rough with him, I told the bouncer, "you even so much as touch Richard and i'm gonna touch you and you'll pull away a bloody stump". He knew i meant it cuz i sure as hell did. Richard was badly abused by folks when he came home who wanted to call him a baby killer and shit like that. I wasn't going to let anyone abuse him again...not on my watch. Like i said after listening to your story i feel like i know you somehow and have a special place in my heart for the guys that were there. Now you too as well. You spoke of Utah, are you LDS? i am... Anyhow brother Cliff if i don't see you in this life...i'll be looking you up in the next. Keep your shooter locked and loaded. Ted out.

Thanks to everyone involved in recording this fascinating history, especially Cliff Newman - incredible service & paid a high price paid, losing his leg, plus all the other scars I guess he must carry. I'm very happy he made it home and got to tell us so much about it. I knew Dave Dean, a 101st veteran of Hill 937 in 1969. Dave told me he was badly injured in Vietnam by a hard landing parachute training accident, when practicing jungle landing. He said he medically discharged then ran a bar by Clark air base for a few years. I've assumed Dave's parachute training was being run by Billy Waugh and I wondered if Mr Newman knew Dave? I worked with Dave from 1988-97, when I was a technician with a British engineering company that Dave was the US sales agent for. The last project we both worked on was in 1997 Yemen, setting up a printing factory in a hilltop compound 17-miles south of a town called Al Qaidah! Al Qaidah has a long and interesting history, first established as a military base in 1174 by Saladin's brother (hence the name) and much later was used as a sanctuary for Arab Mujahideen veterans returning from 19080s Afghanistan, an sanctuary setup & funded by the president's brother-in-law General Ali Mohsen and Osama bin Laden. Mohsen and OBL both helped recruit the Arab Mujahideen in the 1980s, so both of them helping to demobilise those veterans in Arabia after the Soviets were defeated in Afghanistan makes sense. Sorry to report Dave died Jan 8 2020, on Lake Hartwell.

He mentions Lucious Delk as being an SF commander. I served with LTC (later Col) Delk in Germany in 1983-1985. At the time he was a Military Police officer in Command of the 709th MP Bn. After Nam he received his degree, got Commissioned, and went into the MP branch. Delk was harder than a woodpeckers lips. We did an FTX, in the German winter, in 4 ft of snow, in PUP TENTS, and he too used a pup tent just like a private. Everyone likes the "Apocalypse Now" surfing scene? WELL..... Delk water skiied down the Mekong River during Nam on a dare. LATER as a contractor teaching the Iraqi Police, he water skiied down the Tigres River. After his contracting days he became an ordained minister. He passed in 2019.

I don’t think very many people understand what it takes to walk or crawl slow and quietly, or hide for hours, days on end. Or have the attention span to employ those techniques while controlling the anxiety certain to build up. Thanks for your sacrifices.

I wonder if Newman knew of a solo HALO mission that was targeting Hotel 9 in 68. I had heard of it, but never if it had gone off. A guy in FOB2 pointed the guy out and mentioned he was training for it. Just curious. These interviews are so better than history books. Folks can learn serious lessons. imho a 1-0 in SOG was pretty much the pinnacle. Deserving the highest respect.

Hi Mike and guests. Do you think you could find one of a team of MACVSOG warriors, that camped out on a big metal disc set up in the tree tops in Laos for a week. They were flown in by a 2nd helicopter after the first one set the disc down in the treetop. Sounds crazy and unbelievable I know. I've got a book with this mission in it, but I've just moved to Finland (Europe) and my gear is still in the port which is where this book is. Maybe another viewer can verify the book before my gear arrives.

Sadly, they let a lot of unqualified men into SF during the Vietnam Era. That group took over the SF Association and aggrandized each other into heroes. Thankfully, Colonel Howard raised the standards after Vietnam and today's SF are fully qualified and represent the regiment at a high standard. WHEN A RECON TEAM MAKES CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY...IT IS A FAILED MISSION! As for the HALO mission...there is a LOT to say about that and the male bovine excrement runs deep! Basically, SMG Billy Waugh tried to form a HALO Team for a special mission. Please note, HALO is NOT just parachuting, there is a LOT more to it and you just do NOT pull men out of the ranks and throw free fall gear on them ! LORDY! He could not get fully qualified HALO men to volunteer, so he selected a team and lead it. If everyone who claims to have been on that team were assembled on a parade field, it would surpass a BATTALION! Major Donald E. Zlotnik, LOGISTICS OFFICER at CCN 1969-70 (Please note, as the "supply guy" was was well informed as a member of the primary staff at CCN...above the male bovine excrement!)
