MACV-SOG Veteran | Jim Shorten "Wild Carrot"

[@b-52eggbeast88]

Jim is a character in our video game SOG Prairie Fire. He helped us design it. A true gentleman.

[@nationwood7460]

Can’t get enough interviews with these MACV-SOG dudes. Absolute badasses

[@JimTripp2159]

Couldn’t say it better myself

[@wes11bravo]

These guys are all glad to have the opportunity to tell their stories but there is zero ego or any hint of a brag with any of them. Total quiet warriors.

[@brettbaker8357]

Different breed 😂

[@bowen5995]

Amen, absolutely silent hero’s and should get all the notoriety as possible. 💪🏽💯🇺🇸

[@brettbaker8357]

Any others you recommend? I saw John Stryker Meyer

[@joehornick6249]

Gosh, he is atleast mid 70's and still a picture of optimism, enthusiasm, and vigor. We should all count our blessings and strive to live like that!

[@ChevyRob313]

Keep pushing content glover your killing it brother

[@3tvet]

His memory is so sharp and he is so intelligent. Please get him back on to tell more stories mike. I’ve listened to everything SOG and Carrot is one of the best.

[@hectormartinez9657]

Anytime I see “THE WILD CARROT “, I’m definitely listening! Love hearing Mr. Shorten’s stories!

[@RobertTheTexan2]

Bring an Army veteran I take immense pride in my MACV-SOG brothers. My brothers were writing THE BOOK - /SOP/TTP for SOF. I love these stories and my respect if it’s possible just continues to grow and grow. Love and respect my brothers.

May God Bless you and your family sir. Merry Christmas. A heartfelt bow to you sir for your service and sacrifice to our beautiful country. I if able will never forget your time in uniform.

[@JG-id5vi]

Love the vietnam stories, Mike. It's important for you and guys like you to get their stories told. They aren't getting any younger. My uncle did 2 tours as a marine in Vietnam and is no longer with us due to agent orange complications. I really wish I had gotten to hear his story, but he never liked to talk about it.

[@MichelleAllen206]

MACVSOG, much respect, for a myriad of reasons! ❤🇺🇸💙 🤘🙏

[@JustinRahn-q6d]

Fantastic interview. Grew up around WW2, Korean and Vietnam vets. Great respect for all of them. WW2 vets literally saved the world and then just came home and acted like nothing even happened. Korean vets got fed to the wolves but still saved South Korea against impossible odds only to be ignored and forgotten. Vietnam vets never stood a chance thru no fault of their own. Got treated like dirt by our government and the American people. They all deserved better from the country that sent them. Knowing all that I still joined after 9/11. It was the right thing to do even though the politicians screwed us over from day one. Thanks for interviewing men like this while you still can. Thanks for everything else you and others like you are doing to raise awareness and keep us informed.

[@quintindarcey]

You're the man Mike, keep putting out the content! Much admiration from Alberta, the Texas of Canada

[@darkhorse6829]

I seen pics of the "wild carrot" in SOG books. ive watched several of his podcast interviews. he has a.remarkably calm, peaceful demeanor. Salute!!! Jim the Patriot Gentleman.

[@user-vg3yc6gk5f]

Fantastic interview with John McPhee's biological father....... what a machine!!

[@omerta8966]

[@alanwilliams2251]

Appreciate your continued podcasts Mike. God bless brother!

[@bpjbp]

Wild Carrot looks and acts so young. What was he? 6 years old at the time? Amazing.

[@JumpingJimmyJet]

Jim Shorten has an amazing story, and he must have a photographic memory to remember so many names and ranks from so long ago. Great Interview.

[@dancoursey5447]

Thank you both for putting all this out there so everyone remembers. God's love.

[@ottoso7044]

I wish you would’ve asked him to talk more about Jerry MadDog Shriver! We need more videos about him!!!

[@ricardohernandez844]

Right on Mike 👏 keep up the good work . I miss that podcast

[@jasonolden6624]

I truly enjoy this gentlemans story very inspiring as well as interesting. You can tell what a humble and smart individual this man is and with zero ego. I also love the way Mike interviews people down to earth and very honest. Thank you Mike and Jim for an hour or more of riveting story telling and great chemistry between two Army Heros!!

[@jamesm4252]

A Brave Patriot and a Multi Talented Soldier...

[@DavidHamros]

[@Exist_Outdoors_]

These SOG interviews are the best. Jim is an excellent story teller, I always tune in when I see his name.

[@jakelopes2789]

Like button for America ❤

[@bernardRissen-x6x]

Hey Mike loving these pod casts keep it up, speaking of jumps C1/508 pir had the division record for unassing the aircraft.that was 1975 .We were real lucky our first Sgt was in 7th group nam Mike force, he hooked it up and we would run into teams training and they shared there experiences in Vietnam,we loved these men they had all of our attention they were like a big Brothers.

[@TheDivingBee23]

So the rate of SK (Store Kepper) and PC(Postal Clerk) both merge and converted to LS(Logistics Specialist). This is gonna be a great podcast.

[@PeterReeves-s6k]

The wild carrot!! Need more of these sog interviews

[@FeWolf]

He is amazing, my Dad served in MAC V SOG. He did 3x tours, reason to find a lost teammate.

[@adamcuneo7189]

My dad used to know a former Green Beret who served in Vietnam, his name was Jim Daniels, he was a cool guy, he claimed to have blown up the North Vietnamese President's house, he wasn't home though.

[@unregistered617]

Great interview and guest.

[@g-man2228]

Love these interviews with the SOG guys, thanks Mike….👊🏻🇺🇸

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

Right on, Mike. Keep it moving, Brother.......🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾🫡

[@JohnGatesIII]

I miss EVERYTHING about jumping but that sudden stop at the end.

[@explorecriminalminds]

He is on heavy meds for this PTDS, dry mouth, kind of a auto pilot guide I call it. Good man that misses his friends because are corrupt government. I love you brother TY for your service.

[@gkelley47]

maybe the best vietnam interview i have heard,

[@tylermoore7320]

More Mac v sog guys 👌🏾🙏🏾

[@ramblinman5350]

½ a cup of gasoline in the mortar tube ... yep Wild Carrot title fits.

[@darebear12345]

You kill these Mac v sog interviews I only watch Jockos to get more content

[@Carltonpercy69230]

Awesome man

[@thatslowyukon1362]

Jim is the man

[@rickypickles2219]

hes such a silly and funny guy. kinda nerdy. insanely badass too i love it lol. these guys are legends

[@Joemammatype3]

That’s an American badass right there!!

[@slee2819]

SOG Museum. That sounds like something that should already exist. I bet with Mike leading the charge that could be crowd funded without having to wait for any “ officials” help.

[@chuckb3489]

Wow so a radiologist is actually an MD, a licensed medical doctor. What a life Wild carrot lived.

[@jdsaldivar5606]

82ND JUMPMASTER...best Job I ever had. The responsibility and the Authority was a drug for me.

[@bowen5995]

Love Carrots stories and he is such an unsuspecting Hero and I think that’s Bad Ass!! 💯💪🏽🇺🇸

[@minjagaming2629]

Dude a legend

[@jamescrouch740]

Great Man !!!

[@RAV972]

Super nice!!! What brand is the stove?

[@kilcar]

He would make a great ( non Hollywood) film biography

[@Hellcatwrestler]

Legend.

[@jackoliver7506]

Awesome

[@explorecriminalminds]

He's great

[@Anthonyjorge13]

Sir may I suggest Lynne M. “Blackjack” Black next for an interview. God Bless and more success 🇺🇸🇵🇭❤️

[@mikeglovershow]

Good suggestion!

[@edpritchard3001]

Damn!! If you look up man in the dictionary , you would see this man. Great interview.

[@adamcuneo7189]

At 0:13 is it Chris VanSant?

[@mikeglovershow]

That’s right!

[@adamcuneo7189]

@mikeglovershow That's so cool! I didn't know you two were friends.

[@raymondperez6583]

Former Marine jumper then transferred to AF Pararescue. We don’t get much notoriety but that’s fine. If you know you know

[@brettbaker8357]

Incredible wow

[@ProTexTV]

[@NelsonSavinon]

How is this man able to walk around with those big ball of steel?

[@wildbill60]

The true meaning of a stud!!!!!! URAH!!!!

[@brettbaker8357]

@48:50 he says it “got hit with an RPG” inferring it didn’t really happen like that - What happened?!

[@davidboon7219]

You Must Get NICK BROKEHUSAN although the bad language might be difficult 😮 However he is a GEM MACVSOG 😎😎

[@thePrussian]

Makes my life feel tame. 😂

[@davidboon7219]

🙏🏻😢❤️🙏🏻

[@Jam-vj8ig]

❤️💯👍

[@Djminer88]

So what happened to that helicopter?

[@PaulArceneaux]

Norfolk (THE MAR BAR)

[@disturbedlife5691]

The "rpg" may have been an American SAM that wasnt supposed to be in Laos/Cambodia. Kinda like the "rpg" that took out the 24 operators on the qrf for Redwings....ask the couple devgru guys why they were pulled off the chinook last minute. Because a higher pay grade knew there were heat seakers in the area. Same shit as Nam. The CIA had Special activities division back then too. Spooky shit.

[@bissogood]

Mike, I love these stories, but can you incorporate lots of images and visual content for the viewer who likes to immerse themselves in the story. For example, I would like to see this bad ass dude in uniform back then in Vietnam, etc. FYI, Shawn Ryhan does not do it. wink wink

[@MichelleAllen206]

Great advice!

[@sicituradastra9216]

Would y'all like to sing songs and hold teddy bears during story time too?

[@mikeglovershow]

I’ll do that for sure!

[@MichaelHenderson-24]

​@@sicituradastra9216😂😂😂😂😂

[@omerta8966]
